Open-water swim specialist Richard Weinberger of the UVic Vikes is zeroing in on an Olympic berth for Canada at the London Games.
Weinberger won bronze in a FINA 10-kilometre swim in Brazil over the weekend, with a time of two hours, 11 minutes and 42.34 seconds. His finish was just seconds behind world champion Spyros Gianniotis (Greece) in first and second-place Nicola Bolzonello (Italy).

If no other Canadian places higher than third next week in Argentina, Weinberger will compete in the Portugal Olympic Qualifier race in June.
