Premier Paula Cox congratulated Bermuda’s Olympic athletes and said she is looking into ways to better support Bermuda’s athletes.Speaking yesterday, Premier Cox said following the impressive showing of Bermuda’s athletes, she is looking forward to the 2016 Olympics in Rio.“Seeing Bermuda’s athletes perform on the world stage has been a phenomenal experience. This evening I shared with them that they may hail from a small Island, but they truly pack quite a punch,” the Premier said.“This is my first Olympics as the Premier, however I am already thinking of ways to identify what more I can do from the position as Premier to give our athletes more support in preparation for Rio.“[Youth, Family and Sports] Minister Glenn Blakeney and I have had a lengthy discussion as to the possibilities and we will follow-through. We recognise that greatness does not just happen overnight. There are building blocks that must be put in place.”Both the Premier and Mr Blakeney yesterday attended a reception at Aspers Sky Bar in the Olympic Park, honouring Bermuda’s athletes.“My message to our athletes this evening was clear: we support them, we thank them and we are tremendously proud of their performances here in London,” she said.A Government spokeswoman said that following the reception, both Ms Cox and Mr Blakeney returned to Olympic Stadium to watch the Olympic Men’s 200 metre final.
