The men’s Canadian short-track relay team has struck gold.
Speed skaters Charles Hamelin, Pascal Dion, Steven Dubois, Jordan Pierre-Giles and reserve Maxime Laoun finished ahead of the Republic of Korea and Italy in a frantic race to capture the gold medal in the 5,000-metre final on Wednesday.
Hamelin made history in his final career Olympic race, winning his sixth medal to tie Cindy Klassen's record as the most decorated Winter Olympian in Canadian history. The 37-year-old’s first medal came in the 2006 Turin games, where he won silver in the relay event.
