Flora Duffy wins women’s triathlon to give Bermuda 1st gold medal in Olympics history
Flora Duffy won the women's triathlon on Tuesday to become the first athlete from Bermuda in Olympics history to take home a gold medal.
KATHMANDU: JULY 28 – Athletes from around the world are vying for medals at the Tokyo Olympics in Japan. While some expected players are winning medals in the competition, some unexpected results are also causing panic. While a country with a large population and investment has not been able to win a medal, a small country has made a new history by winning a gold medal.
With a population of only 63,000, Bermuda is unlikely to win gold at the Olympics. Flora Duffy made history by winning a gold medal on behalf of this small country, which sent only two athletes to participate.
“This happiness cannot be described in words of pride.” After the victory, Flora said, “The world has felt this happiness of my country. This has made the message that even a small country like ours has the right to kiss gold even more exciting. ‘
Flora Duffy, 33, won a gold medal in the triathlon while making sensational history for Bermuda at the Tokyo Olympics.
This was Flora’s fourth Olympic participation. She won the gold with a time of 1 hour 55 minutes and 36 seconds, beating 56 competitors.
In second place was Georgia Taylor Brown of the United Kingdom and American girl Katie Zaferes was third.
Bermuda had previously won a bronze medal at the 1976 Olympics. Which was even the record of the smallest country to win the Kashya.
Bermuda, which first competed in the Olympics in 1936, is now the world’s smallest country to win Olympic gold.
