Rachelle Viinberg (née De Jong, born April 30, 1979) is a retired Canadian Olympic rower and naturopathic doctor who currently resides in Toronto, Ontario.
In school, Viinberg pursued swimming after seeing Calgary Olympian Mark Tewksbury win the 100-metre backstroke at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
After undergoing a growth spurt in her adolescence, her parents introduced her to rowing.
“They helped me discover rowing after seeing all the rowers train every morning on Wascana Lake when they drove to work.
I thought I had nothing to lose, and my 6’0 frame seemed to be the ideal body type,” said Viinberg.
She attended Argyle Elementary school and graduated from Sheldon Williams Collegiate in 1997.
She was a member of the 2004, 2008, and 2012 Canadian Olympic Rowing teams.
In 2004, Viinberg made her first Olympic team, where she competed at the Athens Olympic Games.
In 2008, Viinberg was selected to compete in the women’s quad at the Beijing Olympic Games.
When one of the members of the crew was suffering with a rib fracture, the team achieved an eighth-place finish.
After becoming engaged on the Great Wall of China after the 2008 Olympic Games, Viinberg married her husband Alex Viinberg in 2009.
Her mother, June de Jong (née Mayhew), is an actress, while her father, Hielke de Jong, who passed away on December 7, 2009, was a retired government employee.
Viinberg's ancestry includes Dutch, English, and Ukrainian roots.
At the age of eight, Viinberg and her family moved to Regina, Saskatchewan.
In 2009, Viinberg's father died from leukemia.
Eighteen months later, her mother was diagnosed with stage 3C colon cancer.
In 2012, she won her first Olympic medal, a silver, in the Women's Eight.
Her team was beaten by Team USA by just 1.4 seconds.
Viinberg was born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, located on Vancouver Island.
She has an older brother named Simon.
When asked about her at the 2012 Olympic Games, Viinberg said, "She battled stage three colon cancer so she could be in the stands to watch me perform my dream. We both achieved our goals."
