Long jumper Tyrone Smith carried the Bermuda flag as he led the island’s athletes during the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro last night.
Our hopefuls wore red Bermuda shorts as they waved to the crowds, with commentators mentioning our only medallist, Clarence Hill.
Shelley Pearson and Julian Fletcher will be the first members of Team Bermuda to compete against the world’s best, competing in the rowing and 100m breaststroke respectively.
