Dubreuil finished in 34.58, just off the leader’s pace but ahead of bronze-medallist Tatsuya Shinhama of Japan by three one-thousandths of a second."The start was a bit slower than last week, but this was my first time skating a lap under 25 seconds at sea level this year," he said."I know there is a tenth or two to be gained out there, so hopefully I can find that speed for the next 500 metres this Sunday.
