(Tomaszów Mazowiecki) Quebecer Laurent Dubreuil collected a second medal at the Long Track Speed Skating World Cup in Tomaszow Mazowiecki, Poland, thanks to a second place in the 500-meter event on Sunday.
Member of the last duo to take the start, the 29-year-old athlete from Lévis stopped the clock at 34.734 seconds, or 35 thousandths of a second behind the winner, the Japanese Tatsuya Shinhama.
Third place went to Wataru Morishige (34.746 seconds), also from Japan.
Canadians Gilmore Junio (35.278) and Alex Boisvert-Lacroix (35.565) also competed in the race. They finished 18e and 20e, respectively.
Dubreuil’s medal is Canada’s fifth since the start of this first leg of the Long Track Speed Skating World Cup, which ends Sunday.
Dubreuil first won a bronze medal on Friday, also in the 500-meter, before Ted-Jan Bloemen and Isabelle Weidemann each earned a silver record in the 5,000 and 3,000 meters, respectively.
On Saturday, on a less productive day for the Canadian delegation, Valérie Maltais, Ivanie Blondin and Weidemann won Canada the gold medal in the team pursuit.
