The Premier reached out to Ms Duffy to congratulate her on winning the 2016 World Triathlon Final and Series, and said, “This is a huge achievement for Flora, and Bermuda proudly celebrates her victory on the world stage.
“This is also an amazing follow up to her stellar performances over the past year and by winning the 2016 World Triathlon Series Flora has undoubtedly solidified her legacy as a world champion.
“This is proof positive that hard work, determination and perseverance against all odds can deliver a great result. I am sure that all of Bermuda joins me in congratulating our world champion Flora Duffy on such an inspirational achievement.
“We are so proud of you Flora, and we look forward to celebrating your success when you return to Bermuda.”
This is a good reason for a community parade – to celebrate this accomplishment by this world class athlete.
We can pause and thank all our competing athletes on the world stage this year with the Olympics and over the years.
Flora can lead it off when she is next on island. It would be wonderful to see our politicians argue less – celebrate more!
We can’t have a parade don’t you recall Bobby telling us that the evil PLP spent all the money.
@Ja. Shut your gob and and stick the program. This is about honoring Flora Duffy and nothing else.t
Hearty congratulations to you Flora! You have worked hard for this title. Enjoy it!
Waiting for the PLP’S celebratory remarks about our athlete’s success
TO cpm:
Always looking for P.L.P. fault.
oba/U.B.P…… HONEST DISASTER.
Minister Richards spent the money!!
Certainly worth a plane wetting at the airport on her return home!!!
This is no time for negative comments either way, Congrats to Flora on an amazing feat. Flora has put Bermuda on the world stage in a very positive way once again., C`mon Bermuda embrace Flora`s Championship, she is one of us!!
Have to wonder what is wrong with the person or persons who disliked Northshore and Kims comments, a little jealous are we???
