The country’s First Medal came in Kingston in 1966 with John Morbey’s Silver Medal in Men's Long Jump. The 1990 Games in Auckland produced the First Gold for Bermuda when Clarence Saunders took Gold in the Men's High Jump.
Two athletes will double up with Butterfield competing in both the Triathlon and the Men’s Marathon, while Duffy will also compete in the Triathlon and Mountain Biking.
This will be Tyler Smith, Erica Hawley and Kyle Webb’s first appearance in the Games.
