MANCHESTER, United Kingdom – Aurelie Rivard took top spot in the women’s 50-metre freestyle S10 final on Monday to cap a strong opening day for Canada at the para-swimming world championships.
Rivard, from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., finished first in 27.64 seconds to earn Canada’s fourth gold medal of the competition.
Tess Routliffe of Caledon, Ont., won gold in the women’s SM7 200 individual medley (in 2:57.77) and Danielle Dorris of Moncton, N.B., took bronze (3:05.93).
