## Career

### 1992 Olympics

### 1996 Olympics

At the [1996 Summer Olympics](/source/1996_Summer_Olympics) in [Atlanta](/source/Atlanta), Bromby posted a remarkable grade of 81 to pull off a thirteenth-place effort on the entire series while teaming up with his new partner Lee White in the [same](/source/Sailing_at_the_1996_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Star) program.[4]

### 2000 Olympics

Following his mediocre performances in two straight Games, Bromby and his crew member White narrowly missed the podium in the [Star](/source/Sailing_at_the_2000_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Star) class at the [2000 Summer Olympics](/source/2000_Summer_Olympics) in [Sydney](/source/Sydney). The Bermudian duo accumulated a net score of 45.3 points at the end of the opening series, finishing six points off bronze medalists and Brazilians [Torben Grael](/source/Torben_Grael) and [Marcelo Ferreira](/source/Marcelo_Ferreira).[5][6][7]

### 2004 Olympics

Twelve years after competing in his first Olympics, Bromby qualified for his fourth Bermudian team, as a 39-year-old, in the [Star](/source/Sailing_at_the_2004_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Star_class) class at the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/2004_Summer_Olympics) in [Athens](/source/Athens). After achieving a fourth-place finish from Sydney, Bromby was appointed as the Bermudian [flag bearer](/source/2004_Summer_Olympics_national_flag_bearers) by the National Olympic Committee in the opening ceremony.[8] Teaming again with White in the opening series, the Bermudian duo delivered an effortless eighth-place effort, including a powerful lead on the ninth leg, in a fleet of seventeen boats with a net total of 82 points.[9]
