A group of 30 athletes and 15 support staff from Bermuda were buzzing with excitement as they prepared for their journey to the 2024 Olympics in Paris. The athletes, adorned in traditional Bermuda dress—crisp Bermuda shorts, knee-high socks, blazers, and ties—created quite a spectacle at L.F. Wade International Airport. Among them were sprinter Tyrone Smith, long jumper Arantxa King, and triathlete Flora Duffy, who were all eager to represent their island nation.
As they boarded the British Airways Boeing 777-300ER, the cabin crew couldn’t help but be captivated by their distinctive attire and the palpable energy emanating from the group.
