The Bermuda Olympic Association is proud to announce that Brandon Sousa and Syriah Lottimore have made history as Bermuda’s first-ever Young Olympic Ambassadors, representing the island in the prestigious Young Olympic Ambassadors Program.
Hosted in Olympia, Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, the program brought together youth leaders from over 150 countries for two weeks of intensive workshops, leadership sessions, and cultural exchange. This global initiative is designed to empower young leaders and promote the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect. This year’s main topic, “The Future of Sport,” guided discussions on innovation, youth engagement, and global trends, while the special topic, “Olympic Movement and AI: Opportunities and Challenges,” explored how emerging technologies can shape the future of sport and enhance the Olympic Movement.
As Bermuda’s inaugural ambassadors, Brandon Sousa and Syriah Lottimore proudly showcased the island’s sporting heritage on the international stage while engaging with peers from diverse cultural and sporting backgrounds. They gained valuable insights into strategies for promoting youth participation, inclusion, and leadership in sport, as well as the role of AI and technology in shaping the future of athletic programs.
Their selection and participation mark a significant milestone for Bermuda, reflecting the Association’s commitment to cultivating young leaders who will champion Olympism and innovation for years to come.
The Bermuda Olympic Association congratulates Brandon and Syriah on this historic achievement and commends them for their outstanding representation of Bermuda and the Olympic Movement.
