Reigning Olympic Champion Flora Duffy competed in her first event since November 2022, following a prolonged period on the sidelines injured, as she was in the 2024 World Triathlon Championship Series Yokohama Women’s Elite Field.
The Bermudian, who is also a multiple time World Champion and Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, finished 7TH clocking a time of 1:53.38.
Duffy last raced short course Triathlon at the WTCS Grand Final over a year and a half ago, which she won ahead of Georgia Taylor-Brown.
In 2024, the national hero and Triathlon icon will attempt to become only the second Triathlete ever, and the first female, to successfully defend her Olympic title, alongside Britain’s Alistair Brownlee in 2012-2016.
Duffy finished 1:10 behind winner Leonie Periault from France who clocked 1:52.28.
