Here are some links to articles from various media outlets written about Richard Weinberger following his Olympic medal-winning performance this morning.
Richard Weinberger earned Canada it's first Open Water medal today in the Men's 10km at Hyde Park, and for those that weren't awake to see it, it was quite the nailbiter.
Weinberger was with the lead pack the whole way, even finishing the first few laps in first place. The back 1.5km saw four of the men breaking away from the rest of the field, with Richard in the mix.
Congratulations to Richard Weinberger and his coach Ron Jacks. This morning, Richard gave Canada its 17th medal with a tremendous bronze medal swim at the London Olympics. Its a great day for Canada and we are very proud of you! Enjoy the moment and well done!
