In 2020 we worked with the amazing teams at the former ITU World Triathlon Bermuda now World Triathlon Bermuda and Bermuda Tourism to 'Celebrate our Champions' in the lead up to both events. We created a banner that was meant to adorn the Seon Building in the City of Hamilton - Bda. Celebrating Flora Duffy Triathlon pursuit of Olympic glory and how her greatness inspired our CARIFTA contenders. Sadly COVID cancelled both 2020 events and our banner was never revealed.

COVID could not cancel the Glory of OLYMPIC GOLD 🥇Today we celebrate the outstanding performance of Flora. Bringing home Bermuda's FIRST Olympic gold medal. Legendary status achieved! Our athletes and all of Bermuda's sporting community look up to your legacy. Continue to inspire greatness!🇧🇲
