medal that Bermuda had hoped for.

ride, and 10km run). Ranked 238 in the world, Tyler placed 35th out of a

TIM COLLINS AND DELTON MAGNA successfully completed the gruelling
Equestrian Three-Day Event competition (consisting of dressage, cross country and showjumping) to finish
a very creditable 36th out of 75 world-class riders. Commenting on his
performance Tim was clearly thrilled with his clear cross country round,
adding "how many Bermudian riders can say they have gone clear on an
Olympic cross-country course?" Results
Running in Heat 10 alongside Commonwealth and
World Champion Kim Collins, XAVIER JAMES clocked 10.40 seconds in
his Olympic debut, beating Bermuda's previous Olympic Athletics record
in the 100 metres. He finished 42nd out of 82 men overall
