Photos: Bermuda’s Team At The Olympic Games

Eight of the island’s most talented athletes are representing us at this year’s Olympic Games, with seven of them having already completed competition.

Long jumper Tyrone Smith marked his third Olympic appearance with a 16 place finish, while swimmers Julian Fletcher and Rebecca Heyliger made their Olympic debuts.

Sailor Cameron Pimentel tested himself against the best in the world, joined by fellow sailor Ceci Wollmann, who was the youngest member of our team at only 18 years old.

Rower Shelley Pearson placed 16th overall and also first female to represent Bermuda at rowing in Olympics, while sprinter Tre Houston showed his speed on the track, delivering the first Olympic appearance by Bermuda in the 200m in 20 years.

Bermuda has one athlete left to compete, with Flora Duffy — who is widely considered a medal contender at these Games — set to take part in the women’s triathlon later this morning.
