And finally, on Day 3/4, Ted-Jan Bloemen and Graeme Fish won silver and bronze in the men’s 10000m, while Ivanie Blondin and Antoine Gelinas-Beaulieu won silver in women’s and men’s mass start. Was hoping for a gold medal in an Olympic event but not a bad showing overall IMO.

Canada won 12 medals at four continents. Graeme fish looks to be back in form where he won medals at the world championships in 2020. Laurent Dubreuil , Ivanie Blondin, Isabelle Weidemann and Connor Howe are picking up where they left off strong last season and both pursuit teams look as strong medal contenders as well on the World Cup circuit and championships. Also we are very strong in the men’s mass start as well instead of just the women’s.
