Bermuda competed at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, United States, which were held from 15 to 24 July 2022. The athlete delegation of the country was composed of one competitor, triple jumper Jah-Nhai Perinchief. During the qualifiers of the men's triple jump, Perinchief placed 22nd and failed to advance to the finals.
Background
The 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, United States, were held from 15 to 24 July 2022. To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time and distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period.[1][2]
As the Bermuda did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified.[1] The Bermuda National Athletics Association selected triple jumper Jah-Nhai Perinchief. Prior to the Championships, Perinchief was the 2021 Bermuda Male Athlete of the Year. Former triple jumper Brian Wellman commented that he was hopeful about Perinchief's performance at the World Championships.[3]
