[Updated] Bermuda continues to rack up the Island Games medals — including three more golds — as Dominique Mayho, Chris Estwanik, Taahira Butterfield, Natasha Trott, Adrienne Smatt and the women’s cycling team have all added to our medal tally.
Taahira Butterfield won gold in the 200m in a time of 25.51, Natasha Trott won silver in a time of 25.62, and Faye Cox from the Shetland Islands rounded out the top three, with the placings actually being completely the same as the 100m which was held earlier this week.

Awesome! When does the team return…it would be great to welcome them!
