QUÉBEC — Laurent Dubreuil won his fifth straight men's 500-metre speedskating national title on the opening day of the Canadian long track championships on Thursday.
"It was a good race overall. I had a great start at 9.57, but my lap was a bit too aggressive," Dubreuil said."I probably could have skated a bit more relaxed. But 34.7 is still very good. Carolina Hiller of Prince George, B.C., a two-time world champion in the Team Sprint, took her third straight national title in the women's 500 in 38.631 seconds.
“Being national champion in the 500m for the third year in a row is pretty exciting and I’m proud of myself," Hiller said."Overall, I am really proud of how I skated today. There were a few parts that were a little sloppy, so I’m looking forward to cleaning that up tomorrow in the 1000m.”
