Rivard, 26, won bronze in the 100-meter backstroke event at the World Para-swimming Championships, in the S10 category, even though it is not a specialty for her.
The athlete from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, who won the 50m and 100m freestyle earlier this week, managed a time of 1 min. 10.24 sec. She was beaten by the Hungarian Bianka Pap (1:08.84) and the French Anaelle Roulet (1:09.83).
Dutchwoman Lisa Kruger finished just off the podium, finishing 25 hundredths of a second behind Rivard.
