Judy Simons has been re-elected to a third term as president of the Bermuda Olympic Association.

Simons, who succeeded former president John Hoskins in 2008, ran unopposed at last week’s election and will serve for the next four years.

“It is gratifying to, once again, be entrusted with the leadership of the BOA for another four years,” she said.

“Over the next quadrennial, which will take to the end of the 2020 Toyko Olympic Games, my focus will continue to be on building stronger ties between the BOA and the international sports organisations that the run the major festivals, and locally with the National Governing Bodies.

“Our goal is to continue to expand and enhance Bermuda’s representation at the major festivals through a focus on the development of our athletes.”

Stan Douglas, who was previously a general member of the committee, has been appointed to the role of secretary general, replacing Philip Guishard, who died earlier this year.

Katura Horton-Perinchief’s appointment at the election at a committee member has left a vacancy in the role of athletes’ committee chairsperson, which will is expected to be filled soon.

The BOA has also announced the chef de missions of the major international sports festivals during the next quadrennial.

Mia Black will take on the role at next year’s Youth Commonwealth Games in Nassau, Bahamas, from July 18 to 23; Michael Murphy will serve as chef de mission at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea; Horton-Perinchief will perform the duties at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, Australia. Jon Beard will serve as the chef de mission at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
