Aurélie Rivard wins 3rd medal of Para swimming worlds with backstroke bronze

Aurélie Rivard can't stop winning medals. 

The Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., native swam to a bronze medal in the women's S10, 100-metre backstroke at the Para swimming world championships on Saturday in Madeira, Portugal. 

The podium finish is her third at the event and first bronze, to go along with a pair of gold medals in the 50m and 100m freestyle finals.

"Just as I expected, I wanted to leave everything in the pool. Backstroke isn't really my thing but I went in to fight for a medal as much as possible," Rivard said post-race. "It's basically the same scenario as this morning, and I'm happy to finish on the podium again."

Rivard touched the wall in one minute, 10.24 seconds, behind silver medallist Anaëlle Roulet of France, who finished in 1:09.83, and world champion Bianca Pap of Hungary, who stopped the clock at 1:08.84.

The week has not been all smooth swimming for Rivard, however, after she was forced to pull out of the 400m freestyle just 48 hours before swimming to a gold medal in the women's 100m freestyle.

Paralympic Champion Katarina Roxon had one goal when she got in the pool in Maderia: land on the podium. On Saturday, the 29-year-old swam to a bronze medal in the women's 100m breaststroke SB8 final, winning the fifth world championship medal of her career.
