Much has happened on and off the blue carpet since we were last here, not least Bermuda’s very own Flora Duffy making history by becoming the first triathlete to win both the Olympic and World titles in the same year, becoming Bermuda’s first ever Olympic gold medallist and more recently the first to defend a Commonwealth Games triathlon title.
This weekend, we return to the island for the penultimate Championship Series racing of 2022, and elite men’s and women’s events that have the potential to make a huge impact on the battles to become this year’s World Triathlon Champions. The triathlon world’s eyes will be fixed on this beautiful corner of the Atlantic and can expect another dose of high-octane entertainment from the world’s best athletes.
The island will also host a wealth of Age-Group and kids triathlon races, and it is always gratifying to see our sport continuing to grow among so many people at all levels of the sport. It is precisely these weekends that will inspire future generations to take up the magic of swim bike run and that can be the spark behind the fire of the next Flora Duffy.
Bermuda has a strong and important history of triathlon and also with the WTCS, having hosted many professional events since 1987, including three WTCS (formerly ITU World Cups) in the 90’s where Flora Duffy, Olympic gold medalist and multiple World Champion, watched as a young aspiring triathlete.
