This Day One Year Ago Bermuda's Dame Duffy Won Gold

IslandStats.com

On a rainy Tuesday in Tokyo one year ago today, Dame Flora Duffy crossed the finish line of the 2020 Olympic Triathlon one minute ahead of her competition, securing the first-ever Olympic Gold Medal for Bermuda.

Duffy was part of a group of seven who broke clear at the start of the 40km bike but then stamped her authority on the race with a fantastic performance over the 10km run to finish in 1:55.36, sending the island into an eruption.

The victory, in her fourth Olympics, caps a wonderful career for Duffy, as she becomes her country's second Olympic Medalist after Clarence Hill captured heavyweight boxing Bronze at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

Relive Duffy’s first interview with www.islandstats.com, Bermuda’s only Journalist to attend the Games.
