On hand to greet with a host of family members, relatives and friends was Acting Minister of Sports, Lovitta Foggo, who welcomed them back and congratulated them on their numerous medals.

Both teams arrived over a two-day period earlier this week, starting with Bermuda’s track & field athletes on Tuesday, followed by our swimmers, who arrived at the LF Wade International Airport on Wednesday.

The track & field contingent was headed up by team captain and high jumper Sakari Famous, who won a bronze medal in the Under 20 Girls High Jump with a top leap of 1.79m.
