Dame Flora Duffy: What It Feels Like to Win Your Country’s First Ever Olympic Gold

In this episode of The Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Dame Flora Duffy. Flora is an Olympic gold medallist, 5x Olympian, and the most decorated athlete in Bermuda’s history.


From her childhood on a 21-square-mile island to making history in Tokyo, Flora reflects on a career defined by relentless resilience, off-road domination, and representing her country.


We unpack:

🏊‍♀️ How discovering triathlon at 7 in Bermuda changed her life

🏆 Winning WTS, XTERRA & Cross Triathlon World Titles in the same year

🥇 The story behind Bermuda’s first Olympic gold, and the day her country gave her back a national holiday

🩼 Injuries, missed seasons, and the mental strength of every comeback

🎯 Her emotional farewell at Paris 2024, and what fuels her next chapter in long-course racing


This conversation is full of energy, humility, and insight from one of the toughest, most grounded champions in triathlon.
