“It’s been wonderful to see such a strong and diverse team representing Bermuda at the Olympics,” the Governor told Bernews. “It’s always great to see the international sporting community come together, and Bermuda is definitely on the sporting map.
“Bermuda can be incredibly proud of its athletes and the entire team sitting behind them helping them reach this stage – family, friends and coaches.”
