Bermuda’s first qualifier for Paris, Adriana Penruddocke, stated, “To have first qualified is
one thing but then to be selected is huge as the Olympics is the pinnacle of sport and such
a special event only happening every 4 years with the best of their nations and to be a part
of it is just so special to experience and grow on.”
Dara Alizadeh was delighted to say, “I am beyond excited for the opportunity to once again
represent Bermuda on the international rowing stage. Rowing has been my life for the last
15 years, and the chance to race for Bermuda and combine these two parts of my life,
means the world to me.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to represent Bermuda, the Olympics is the pinnacle of
swimming and I’ve dreamed about going for years. To compete against some of the best
athletes in the world is something I will remember forever”, was Jack Harvey’s reaction to his participation in Paris. Sister Emma Harvey, “I am beyond honored to be representing Bermuda at the Olympics. The support from the Bermuda community has been
unbelievable and I am so excited to be racing the best in the world in Paris!”
Tyler Smith also shared his thoughts, “It’s always been a dream to compete at the Olympic
Games and I look forward to making my debut in Paris representing Bermuda along with
other top athletes. I‘d like to thank all those that have played a role in getting me here
including coaches, training partners, supporters, friends and most importantly my parents.”
President of the Bermuda Olympic Association, Mr. Peter Dunne, in a press conference held earlier yesterday said, “It is an honor to officially announce Bermuda’s team for the Paris
2024 Olympic Games. We are incredibly fortunate that at these games we will have eight
athletes competing in 5 sports. As a small country on the world sporting stage, we are
fortunate to have a team of this size and depth of talent. On behalf of the BOA and the
Executive Committee, we appreciate the deep commitment of each athlete, and we look
forward to the community supporting Team Bermuda in Paris.”
Chef de Mission, Katura Horton-Perinchief expressed her admiration for the eight-team
contingent. “This is a team that will represent Bermuda so, so well. Each athlete is on top
of their game, and they are ready. I’m really excited to get the games started. Let’s go
Team Bermuda!”
