Flora Duffy To Compete In Abu Dhabi This Friday
Olympic gold medalist Flora Duffy is set to compete in the World Championship Series Abu Dhabi this Friday [Nov 5], with the Bermudian triathlete looking to extend her winning streak.
A World Triathlon story said, “She is the Olympic champion, the 2021 World Champion and has 11 World Triathlon Championship Series under her belt, but one thing Bermuda’s golden star Flora Duffy has never accomplished yet is a victory in Abu Dhabi. This Friday will be her chance.
Highlights of Flora Duffy’s celebratory motorcade:
“Duffy will lead a stunning line-up of the world’s best triathletes for the World Championship Series Abu Dhabi presented by Daman, which this year will also see the inclusion of the World Triathlon Para Championships hosted in the city for the very first time. Conditions will be brutal in the Formula 1 circuit this weekend, with temperatures and humidity expected high and athletes ready for a once in a lifetime show.
“Flora Duffy is not new to the iconic green asphalt of the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit, having raced in Abu Dhabi three times before. Duffy arrives in Abu Dhabi highly motivated, after the multiple homages she received three weeks ago in her home town Bermuda after her Olympic gold, the first Olympic title in the history of the tiny country.
“But the task of winning in Abu Dhabi this weekend won’t be an easy one. The roster of athletes lining up in Abu Dhabi includes highly experienced and strong bike riders that for sure will set up a challenge for the Bermudian golden star.”
