Storm buffets venues but Tokyo Games go on

Workers during rainy weather prepare track for competition .

Wind and rain buffeted the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday, causing delays to competition and event rescheduling, but stopping short of battering the host city as initially feared. While organisers remained on alert to monitor impact from the tropical storm off Japan's east coast, those competitors unaffected by the weather got Day Four of competition off to a flying start. Flora Duffy achieved instant national hero status when she won Bermuda’s first Olympic gold medal with victory in the women's triathlon. The 33-year-old hailed it "an incredible moment" and as Bermuda became the least populous nation to win a Summer Olympics gold its Premier David Burt sent his congratulations over Twitter, saying: "You've worked so hard and you've made an entire island proud!"
