Bermuda is once again filled with pride as Flora Duffy continues to shine on the global stage, finishing third at the prestigious T100 Triathlon Series in Las Vegas. Her resilience and determination are a true inspiration to us all, especially to the young Bermudians who see her as a model of hard work and sporting excellence.
The Hon. Owen Darrell, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport stated, “Flora represents the very best of Bermuda’s sporting spirit. As Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Sport, I congratulate her on yet another success. Bermuda will always be behind her, cheering her on as she continues to make history. We look forward to even more incredible achievements from Flora as she flies the Bermuda flag high!”

Run – Cruise control for Knibb
It was obvious from virtually the start of the run that Knibb was looking super comfortable.
That suggested it would take something quite remarkable from Derron to put her under threat. The Swiss star did overtake Byram for second early on but the inroads on Knibb were just 20 seconds in the first 2km of the 18km.
And that set the tone. Duffy would haul in Byram for third late on as both produced superb performances to enhance their prospects of a top finish after the final showdown in Dubai next month.
“Well done, Flora – you’ve made us proud!”
