Bermuda’s Flora Duffy secured the Caribbean’s first gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games on Friday.

She produced a total time of 55.25 for gold in the Women's Individual (Sprint Distance) ahead of England’s Georgia Taylor-Brown (56.06) and Scotland’s Beth Potter (56.46).

Duffy, whose training throughout the season was impacted by COVID-19, successfully defended her title from four years ago in the Gold Coast edition of the Commonwealth Games.

She also won triathlon gold at the Tokyo Olympics last year.
