Jah-Nhai Perinchief Enjoying Village Atmosphere
[Written by Stephen Wright]
Bermuda triple jumper Jah-Nhai Perinchief said he is settling into life at the Olympic Village in Saint-Denis after arriving in Paris from Arkansas today [July 25].
Perinchief, who does not compete until August 7, will be joined in the French capital by coach Travis Geopfert and mentor Brian Wellman.
He told Bernews: “I’ve settled in at the Village, and I’m enjoying the atmosphere. It’s a nice set-up here; it’s beautiful!”
The 26-year-old — who will be one of Bermuda’s two flag bearers at the Opening Ceremony tomorrow — also shared some motivational words for Bermuda’s team.
“Although we’re a small country, we have a great team of athletes who can be contenders in their respective sports and events,” he said. “We can all do it!”
