Duffy Second In ITU History To Win 5 In Season
Following her recent win at the 2017 ITU World Triathlon Stockholm, Bermuda’s Flora Duffy has become the second woman in ITU history to have won five World Triathlon Series races in a single season.
“The win secured her the overall Series leader position going into the Rotterdam Grand Final next month as she will enter the race with a perfect score of 4000 points in the effort of retaining her world title,” Triathlete.com noted.
“I was very happy with today to execute a solid race in the swim, bike and run,” Duffy told Triathlete.com.
“My swim has been a little shakier this year so it was nice to come out third behind Jess [Learmonth] and Lucy [Hall], it was a perfect position. And then onto the bike we were hammering on that first lap to create a gap and that kind of set the race up perfectly.”
To watch a Bermudian, win on the world stage, is nothing short of amazing. Well done Flora.
Keep it up Duffy!
A real Bermudian Living Legend!
Congrats!!! Great job you have made Bermuda proud.
Thank you Flora for representing Bermuda so well. If they haven’t heard about us now they know.
