MONTREAL — Olympic speedskater Courtney Sarault was filled with doubt ahead of the Canadian short-track national championships at the end of September.
Sarault is one of 12 Canadian skaters taking the ice in Montreal as 33 countries and 184 athletes get set for the first two World Cup events this season. The first competition takes place from Friday to Sunday at Maurice Richard Arena. The second is the following weekend, from Oct. 27 to 29. She says it was “a little scary” going into nationals with more load in her legs, but that her stubbornness helped overpower any exhaustion.
The 22-year-old from Montreal enters his hometown events still seeking the first individual World Cup medal of his career. Dubois, Canada’s most recognizable skater for the events as a gold, silver and bronze-medal winner at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, gave credit to Dandjinou for a performance at nationals that proved too tough to beat.
