A motorcade to celebrate Bermuda’s triathlon champion Flora Duffy and her gold medal win at the Commonwealth Games earlier this month is to be held on Monday.

High jump champion Clarance ‘Nicky’ Saunders – who won Bermuda’s first gold medal, at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in New Zealand — will also travel in the procession.

Michael Weeks, Minister of Social Development and Sports, called on Bermuda residents to line the streets of the route to show their support for the two Commonwealth champions.

He said: “Both Flora and Nicky have proven to be the best of the best in their sport and are an incredible inspiration to our young athletes.

“Flora has proven herself time and time again on the international sporting scene and continues to make us proud.”

The motorcade will start at 11:30am from the Hamilton Princess, travel along Pitts Bay Road, up Queen Street, along Church Street and turn right at Court Street to finish at the Cabinet Office.

Ms Duffy will be greeted by Mr Weeks and David Burt, the Premier, who will present certificates to the two athletes at around noon.

The motorcade is expected to leave Cabinet Office at 12:15pm.
