Photos & Video: Flora Duffy Sign On Seon Place
As the island prepares to celebrate Flora Duffy Day, a giant sign can be seen on the Seon Place building on Front Street in Hamilton congratulating the “Olympic, World, and Commonwealth champion,” with the sign saying that it is “proudly supported by the tenants of 141 Front Street.”
Some of the upcoming events on Flora Duffy Day include a motorcade, the renaming of the National Sports Centre’s South Field Stadium to the Flora Duffy Stadium, the renaming of Corkscrew Hill to Flora Duffy Hill, a special recognition by the Bermuda Post Office, an artistic mural announcement, and a Flora Duffy statue being commissioned.
Flora Duffy — often described as one of the greatest triathletes of all time – is a 10 time world champion, the first triathlete in history to be crowned both the World and Olympic Champion in the same year, and Bermuda’s first ever Olympic gold medalist, with her win making the island the smallest country in the world to win a gold medal at the Summer Olympics.
