Gymnastics: Bermuda Win 14 Medals
With 14 medals under their belt, the Bermuda Gymnastics Team has just finished a very successful first day of competition at the 2011 Island Games, with the gymnastics portion being held in Jersey this weekend.
The junior team did the Island proud, winning gold in the team competition. [Pictured below]
The senior team narrowly missed the gold in their team event, placing second to the Faroe Islands by 1.45 points. The Bermuda team also earned 4 individual gold medals, two individual silvers, and 5 bronzes. The total medals won for Day 1 was 14.
