Comments on: Olympics: Kirklands Finish 6th In First Race https://bernews.com/2012/08/olympics-kirklands-finish-6th-in-first-race/ Bermuda's #1 source for 24/7 breaking news, photos & videos Mon, 06 Apr 2026 11:51:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.7.5 By: Politely Pompous https://bernews.com/2012/08/olympics-kirklands-finish-6th-in-first-race/#comment-251757 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 02:30:12 +0000 http://bernews.com/?p=126623#comment-251757 I’m not attacking these guys but of all the sports we should excel in, you’d think it would be this one. I can understand why Bermuda wouldn’t do good at certain events-especially the events that dominate the Winter Olympics. However, you’d think that we’d have an advantage in a sport like Sailing. If we don’t do good at that, what chance do we have at any other sport?

There is a separate story on Roy Allan Burch’s great job this morning. Please feel free to read that here.

We would encourage you to look to the Olympic section as each athlete gets their own article after each time they compete. We think all our Olympians deserve their due and are trying to give them that.

By some fluke they got a 6. Not a single other team has even ONE DNF. There is nothing ‘well done Bermuda’ about this! They are in nearly last place, doing very poorly indeed – it is NOT close. Meanwhile, Burch, the incredible swimmer, is actually doing AMAZING things over there yet he gets second billing in the story….. WTH??????? Embarrassing.
