He finished just over two-tenths of a second back of the Tunisian winner and one hundredth of a second ahead of the Australian bronze medallist.
Riech is a two-time world champion in the distance.
He suffered a brain injury at age 10 when he was hit in the back of the head by a golf ball, which affected the right side of his body.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 7, 2024.
