Sensational Moore Claims Six-Medals at World Police Games
|
Bermudian swimmer Madelyn Moore produced an extraordinary individual display to capture six medals and propel the island to fourth place overall at the 2026 USIP World Police Games in Santo Domingo.
Competing at the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center, Moore single-handedly anchored Bermuda's campaign against international police delegations, mounting a dominant charge across the sprint disciplines to collect five gold medals and one silver.
The sprint specialist swept the freestyle events, storming to victory in the 50m before claiming top spot in the 100m.
She proved equally imperious on her back, securing double gold across both the 50m and 100m backstroke, before adding a fifth title with a clinical win in the 50m butterfly and rounding out the meet with 100m butterfly silver.
Reflecting on her dominant showing, Moore revealed that taking time out to establish her career with the Bermuda Police Service had paid dividends 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. It was very demanding to do both.
"I'm really truly enjoying where I'm at. I'm loving training with Aquatic Sports Performance in California, and it was really fun out there. I'm really glad we went back to Santo Domingo because I loved the pool, the facilities were so great, and it was a nice chance to compete in that pool again."
Despite being in the opening weeks of the new campaign, Moore was thrilled to find herself already operating near peak speed.
"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," she added. "To be on par with where I was at the end of last season is awesome.
"I don't really train for the 100s, but I just did them to compete and see if I could win some medals, so I'm super happy with how that turned out. It was so awesome to get to know the other police officers from different countries, see how they did, and it was just such a good time."
Moore's six-medal haul ensured Bermuda closed out the multi-sport event in fourth position on the overall standings in the Dominican capital.

Harvey touched the wall in 58.62 seconds to secure 11th place overall in a fiercely contested field.

The performance marks Harvey's fourth national record in just three days in Illinois, capping an extraordinary run of form as she cements her standing among the world’s elite short-course sprinters.

Harvey Shatters Two More National Records at World Trials
|
Bermuda’s Emma Harvey continued her record-breaking spree in the pool, lowering two national marks in a single session on day two of the 2026 Short Course World Championship Trials in Westmont, Illinois.
Building on her record-breaking display on the opening day of competition, the 25-year-old Olympian delivered another masterclass in short-course racing to rewrite Bermuda's history books twice more at the FMC Natatorium.
Harvey first took to the water in the women's 100m backstroke, producing a blistering swim to place seventh overall in 58.01 seconds. In doing so, she emphatically wiped away a long-standing national record that had stood for nearly 17 years, eclipsing Olympian Kiera Aitken’s previous benchmark of 59.31 seconds established in Castellon, Spain, on 26 November 2009.
Harvey returned to the blocks shortly after in the women's 50m butterfly, stopping the clock in 26.25 seconds to secure 11th position overall. The performance comfortably took eight-tenths of a second off the previous Bermuda standard of 27.07 seconds, set only a week earlier in Canada by Elan Daley.
The twin record-breaking performances mark three national records in just two days for Harvey, cementing an exceptional run of form as she contests the global trials in Illinois.

Daley Breaks Two National Records in Downtown Sprint Meet
|
Bermudian swimmer Elan Daley produced a sensational, record-shattering weekend in Canada, claiming a clean sweep of victories and lowering two Bermuda national short-course records at the 2026 Downtown Sprint Meet.
Competing at the University of Toronto, the standout swimmer proved untouchable across the sprint disciplines, capturing four gold medals and hitting the qualification standards for the World Short Course Championships in both the 100m freestyle and 100m butterfly.
Daley made headlines in the butterfly events, taking down national marks previously held by Olympian Emma Harvey.
In the Girls 14 & Over 50m Butterfly, Daley surged home in 27.07 seconds to shave over three-tenths off Harvey’s nine-year-old Bermuda record of 27.39, set at the Scottish National Short Course Championships in December 2017.
She followed that up with another clinical display in the 100m Butterfly, touching the wall in 59.38 seconds. The effort eclipsed Harvey’s previous national standard of 59.45, established at the BASA Winter Meet in November 2023, while comfortably securing a World Championship qualifying time.
The Bermudian was equally ruthless in the freestyle events. Daley stormed to victory in the 100m Freestyle in 54.88 seconds to clock another World Short Course qualifying mark, before completing an imperious four-gold haul by dominating the 50m Freestyle in a blistering 25.33 seconds.
The remarkable four-event sweep caps a milestone early-season outing for Daley, underlining her fine form on the North American circuit as she turns her sights toward the international stage.
