MONTREAL — Canada’s short track team reached the podium four times on Sunday, winning both the men’s and mixed gender relays to close out the ISU Short Track World Tour in Montreal.
The Canadian squad concluded its two-week homestand with 14 medals, including nine gold and two silvers.
The Canadians were matched up against Netherlands and Japan in a three-team final, jockeying for position throughout much of the race. A well-executed relay by Boutin helped push Brunelle past her Dutch counterpart and into the lead.

The day was bookmarked with another relay victory, as the men’s team of Dubois, Roussel, William Dandjinou and Jordan Pierre-Gilles repeated as gold medallists in the 5,000-metre marathon with a time of 6:41.532. . The 23-year-old Dandjinou, who has build a comfortable 172-point lead atop the Crystal Globe standings, earned his third individual distance medal of the weekend, cruising to victory ahead of Korea’s Jang Sungwoo and teammate Pierre-Gilles , who matched his best international result in the distance, having a previous won bronze at the World Cup in Almaty during the 2022-23 season.
