There was an intriguing battle in Thursday’s Traversée internationale du lac St-Jean in Roberval, Québec, Canada.

Olympian Richard Weinberger went mano-a-mano with American Arthur Frayler. While Frayler is not going to the Olympics and lost out to his Canadian rival Weinberger in lac St-Jean, we suspect that these two young warriors will have dozens of extremely close battles between now and the 2016 Rio Olympics.
