TOKYO (Reuters) â Flora Duffy has already been awarded an OBE for services to Bermudan sport and now, having added the countryâs first Olympic gold medal to her sparkling CV, she will hope things pan out better than for the islandâs only other Games medallist.
After collecting a heavyweight boxing bronze in 1976 Clarence Hillâs life spiralled downwards into drugs and he eventually served jail time for dugs offences and armed robbery.
Duffy, it is safe to assume, is destined for better things and has already been feted on Twitter by the countryâs Premier David Burt after her superb victory in Tuesdayâs Olympic triathlon.
