Canada adds two medals at short-track world championships

Canada defended its men's relay title and earned silver in the mixed relay, finishing with three medals, seven fewer than last year's championships, officials said.

  • On Sunday, Canada won gold in the men's 5,000-metre relay and silver in the mixed 2,000-metre relay at the ISU Short Track World Championships in Montreal.
  • The men's relay quartet of Félix Roussel, Maxime Laoun, Steven Dubois, and William Dandjinou defended their world title, while Italy claimed the mixed relay victory.

  • Italy's Pietro Sighel overtook Canada on the final lap of the mixed relay, mirroring the podium results from last month's Milan Cortina Olympics with Italy, Canada, and Belgium.
  • Canada concluded the championships with three medals, two fewer than at last month's Milan Cortina Olympics and seven fewer than at last year's world championships.
