Today, Premier Ewart Brown expressed his “pride and excitement” about the medal winning performances by Bermuda’s athletes at the CAC Games in Puerto Rico.

And he publicly offered congratulations to Tyrone Smith, Tyler Butterfield, Flora Duffy, Damien Matthews and Ross Roberts for their outstanding achievements at the games.

Tyrone Smith won a gold medal in the long jump yesterday, while Flora and Tyler captured silver and bronze medals respectively in the triathlon last weekend.

Also last week, Damien grabbed a bronze medal in bowling, while Ross collected a bronze medal in shooting.

The CAC Games are currently taking place in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Premier Brown:

This entire country should be celebrating their accomplishments. We’ve sent 60 athletes to these games and since the start of the event, we’ve heard nothing but great things emanating out of Puerto Rico regarding our competitors. They have represented Bermuda with dignity and I want to publicly congratulate them on their performance.

I've always said that in the past we used to do things differently with regard to sports. In Bermuda, we played games, while in other countries, they developed sports.

The PLP joins the Premier in congratulating our athletes. Job well done.
