This is a great way to highlight his return, he who had to give up the World Championships in Norway more than a week ago because he had contracted COVID-19. A heartbreaking situation for the Quebecer, since when he retired, he had the lead in the sprint test.
Thus, in the last World Cup of the season, Dubreuil proved why he was among the best skaters in the world.
In the first race of the weekend, the 29-year-old finished second in the 500m event, just 0.148 seconds behind Tatsuya Shinhama and first place.
Dubreuil is in first place in the World Cup standings over this distance. Dubreuil will also participate in the 1000m event.
