Kelly College Triathlete off to the Olympics
Bermudan Kelly College student, Flora Duffy, has been selected by a Tripartite Commission made up of the ITU, IOC and the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) to receive an invitational place at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games triathlon.
Flora has shown tremendous promise on the ITU circuit. At the 2006 Commonwealth Games she was an eighteen year old racing with the elite women and finished an impressive 8th place. Later that year she was a silver medallist at the 2006 junior World Championships in Lausanne. In 2007 Flora raced to her best World Cup finish ever, a fifth place in Lisbon, Portugal.
Kelly College, Director of Swimming and Triathlon, Robin Brew said “Flora has improved dramatically since her time at Kelly, the work in the pool has improved her confidence and ability to stay with the lead pack, Rich Brady has done a great job in keeping her injury free and ready for the stat line, this will be a great experience for Flora and we are all very proud of her achievements”
