Triathlete Flora Duffy: Bermuda's first gold medalist

Newshour

Available for over a year

The tiny island of Bermuda has won its first Olympic gold medal. A considerable achievement for triathlete Flora Duffy but the more so when you consider that Bermuda only has a population of some 64,000 people. She swam 1.5km, cycled 40km, and ran 10km, beating her nearest rival by 74 seconds. She explains the pressures of being Bermuda's medal hope, her emotions on winning and what she hopes her gold medal win will achieve.
