Team Manitoba wrapped up the 2025 Canada Summer Games with 34 medals — 12 gold, 10 silver, and 12 bronze — on Aug. 24 in St. John’s, N.L.
“This result would not be possible without the hard work, heart, and commitment of our athletes and their families, coaches, and mission staff,” Drew Todd, Chef de Mission for Team Manitoba, said in a statement. “For that, and to those who cheered us on here at the Games and all the way back home, we extend our deepest gratitude.”
At the closing ceremonies, Soren Weselake, a road and mountain bike cyclist from Portage la Prairie, carried the flag for Manitoba. Weselake won a bronze in the men’s individual time trial, and a gold in men’s cross country.
“It’s really nice they thought of me for this,” Weselake said in a statement. “I really liked winning my gold medal, obviously, that was fun, but I also really liked getting to hang out with all the other people from all the teams.”
