Quebecer Laurent Dubreuil collected a second medal at the Long Track Speed Skating World Cup in Tomaszow Mazowiecki, Poland, with a second place finish 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 18th and 20th, respectively.
Later Sunday, Dubreuil earned fifth place in the 1,000-meter, crossing the distance in 1: 08.98. He finished 31 hundredths of a second behind the winner, Dutchman Hein Otterspeer, and 15 hundredths of a bronze medal.
Antoine Gélinas-Beaulieu (1: 09.46) and Vincent De Haître (1: 10.16) took ninth and 14th places, respectively.
Between these two events, Ontarian Ivanie Blondin was 11th in the 1,500 meters, in 1: 58.62.
Dubreuil’s medal is Canada’s fifth since the start of this first leg of the Long Track Speed Skating World Cup, which ends today.
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, during a less productive day for the Canadian delegation, Valérie Maltais, Blondin and Weidemann had given the country the gold medal in the team pursuit.
