Eric Hedlin had a breakthrough swim at the Pan-Pacs in Tokyo today placing 2nd behind American Jordan Wilimovsky. The Pan-Pacs and Europeans are the 2 major competitions in current cycle and while Eric had previously finished in the medals in the 5km distance he had not been able to translate that success to the 10km Olympic distance until today!
It was the first international medal in five years for Hedlin, the 2013 world silver medallist in the 5-km.
“I feel really happy,” said Hedlin, who raised his arms in jubilation after crossing the finish line
