Bermuda wins its first gold medal, becoming the smallest country to win gold at the Summer Olympics

Bermuda just took home the gold medal in the women's triathlon in Tokyo – making it the smallest country to win gold at the Summer Olympics. Flora Duffy earned the gold medal in the event with a time of 1:55:36.

This is the first Olympic gold medal for Bermuda, which has an estimated population of 62,034. The country is so small, it only sent two athletes to the Tokyo Games – Duffy for the triathlon and rower Dara Alizadeh.  The country's first Olympics was Berlin in 1936 and in its Olympic history, it has only taken home one other medal – boxer Clarence Hill won a bronze in the men's 81kg heavyweight competition at the Montreal Games in 1976.
