Bermudian swimmer dominates sprint events to guide island to fourth place overall
Bermudian swimmer Madelyn Moore produced an extraordinary solo campaign to capture six medals and guide the island to fourth place overall at the USIP World Police Games in Santo Domingo.
Competing at the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center, Moore dominated the sprint events against international police delegations, claiming five golds and a silver.
The sprint specialist completed a clean sweep in the 50m and 100m freestyle, mirrored the feat across both backstroke distances, and added gold in the 50m butterfly alongside a silver in the 100m butterfly.
Moore explained that taking a structured break to establish her professional policing career with the Bermuda Police Service had paid off in the pool.
“I’m so happy to be in the place that I’m at physically and mentally,” Moore said. “Having a break was the right thing for me to do, especially as I was getting my career with the BPS off the ground.
“I’m super happy with my 50 times because all of them were on par with my season’s best from last year, and this was only the beginning of the season. To be on par with where I was at the end of last season is awesome.”
Moore’s six-medal haul ensured Bermuda closed out the multi-sport event inside the top four of the final medal table in the Dominican capital.
