Flora Duffy won Bermuda’s first-ever Olympic gold medal when she delivered a dominating run leg to convincingly triumph in the women’s triathlon on a stormy Tokyo course today.
Duffy was part of a group of seven who broke clear at the start of the 40km bike leg but then stamped her authority on the race with a fantastic performance over the 10km run to finish in one hour, 53.36 minutes.
Briton Georgia Taylor-Brown overcame a flat tyre near the end of the bike leg to chase back and take silver.
Meanwhile, today’s women's 100m backstroke final will be a battle of the record breakers with Australia's Kaylee McKeown going for gold against American Regan Smith and Canada's Kylie Masse.
The trio are the three fastest swimmers in the history of the event, all having held the world record, with McKeown the current owner.
The swimming finals will start at 1.43pm today with the Men’s 200 metres freestyle.
Looking at the Official Medal tally, Japan leads with 8 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze, the US is second 7 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze while China is third with 6 gold, 5 silver and 7 bronze.
