The gold medal was Boutin’s first at a world championship, having finished second six times and third on seven other occasions. “I didn’t expect to win at world championships at all after taking time off this season. For me, this was a huge bonus. I am really happy about what I was able to accomplish here today and also for choosing myself throughout this process.”
Both Canadians fell with two laps remaining in the race after losing an edge. But when Italy’s Pietro Sighel, who was third at the time, also fell, it presented opportunity for Pierre-Gilles, the World Cup 500-metre leader, and Dubois.
