Canadian Speedskaters Win Bronze in Women’s Short-Track Relay
Canada's women's 3,000m short-track relay team earned bronze, their first podium finish since 2014, after leading most of the race and overcoming a chaotic final lap.
- On Wednesday, Canada won bronze in the women's 3,000-metre relay with Courtney Sarault, Danae Blais, Florence Brunelle and Kim Boutin, after a tense race.
- The Netherlands' wipeout midway through the four-team final removed a contender, an error nearly unbalanced a Canadian skater, and Canada dropped back to third in the race final laps.
- Courtney Sarault anchored the final leg, guiding the team to a time of four minutes 4.33 seconds, placing behind South Korea and Italy.
- The bronze returns Canada to the relay podium for the first time since Sochi 2014, while Courtney Sarault earned her team-leading fourth medal at these Games.
- Historical context: multiple short-track skaters have posted four-medal Games, including Suzanne Schulting and Viktor An; the Netherlands had been aiming for a fourth consecutive relay gold but fell midway, altering that streak.
