Bermuda Olympic Schedule: July 30 & July 31
The next athletes set to represent Bermuda at the Olympics in Paris will be our triathletes, with Tyler Smith competing tomorrow [July 30]; and Dame Flora Duffy and Erica Hawley competing on Wednesday [July 31]. The triathlons start at 3am Bermuda time, so please set your alarm clocks or stay up all night!
This is the current schedule as planned, however the swimming training has been canceled for two consecutive days due to the pollution levels in the river, which had escalated due to recent rainfall.
“Given the weather forecast for the next 36 hours, Paris 2024 and World Triathlon are confident that water quality will return to below limits before the start of the triathlon competitions on July 30,” a joint statement from Paris 2024 and World Triathlon said.
In addition to being the country that is fielding the defending gold medalist in the female race, the fact we have three athletes qualified in the triathlon is very impressive, as Bermudians make up approximately 2.7% of all the triathletes in the Olympics, a stunning showing from an island of 64,000 people in a world of over 8 billion people.
