CONGRATULATIONS, DAME FLORA DUFFY

The record-breaking athlete lands another title.

Continuing to make waves on the world stage, Bermuda’s Dame Flora Duffy recently achieved a feat no female triathlete has accomplished after landing her recordbreaking fourth WTS World Triathlon title during a thrilling competition in Abu Dhabi in November 2022.

“You are without question the greatest female triathlete the world has ever seen, and you are an inspiration to us all here in Bermuda,” said Premier David Burt about the 35-year-old Duffy, who was born and raised in Bermuda. Duffy made the island proud when she landed Bermuda’s first-ever gold Olympic medal during the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo after winning the women’s triathlon.

Duffy’s many other accomplishments include being a two-time ITU World Triathlon Series Champion, a two-time ITU Cross Triathlon World Champion, a six-time winner of the XTERRA World Championships, and a Commonwealth gold medallist.

“Your dedication, fearlessness, and strength of character represent the true champion that you are,” said the Premier on behalf of the proud Bermudians.
