At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro he was in the Dutch men's eight which won a bronze medal.

Club and other rowing
Wieten has raced for the Hollandia Roeiclub based in Utrecht. In 2016 he was in a Hollandia eight which won the Grand Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta.

International representative rowing
Wieten's Dutch representative debut came in 2013 when he was selected in the Dutch U23 men's eight to contest the World Rowing U23 Championships in Linz-Ottensheim. He was again in the Dutch U23 men's eight for the 2014 U23 World Championships.

He earned a seat in the Dutch senior men's eight for the 2014 World Rowing Cup I when they rowed to a silver medal in Sydney, Australia. He kept his seat in the eight for the next three years racing at European Championships, World Rowing Cups during the international season and at the 2015 World Rowing Championships (third place), the 2016 Olympic Games (third place) and the 2017 World Rowing Championships (fourth place).

In 2018, Wieten was selected in the Dutch men's coxless four. They were competitive at all three World Rowing Cups and the European Championships and placed fourth at the 2018 World Rowing Championships.

In 2019, Wieten made the switch to sculling boats. The Dutch men's quad was a world class crew who had finished just off the podium at international regattas and the 2017 and 2018 World Championships. In 2019 with Wieten replacing Stefan Broenink in the three seat, the Dutch quad continued to improve their rankings, winning gold at the European Championships, taking third place at the World Rowing Cup III and then at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Linz-Ottensheim taking the gold medal ahead of Poland and winning a World Championship title. The crew stayed together with limited international racing in 2020 when they again won the European Championships.

They commenced their 2021 campaign for the delayed Tokyo Olympics with a second placing at the 2021 European Championships and a gold medal at the World Rowing Cup II in May 2021.
