Four-time Olympic medalist Kim Boutin won gold in the women’s 1,000 metres with a time of one minute and 29.807 seconds
Short-track stars Kim Boutin and Steven Dubois both struck gold as Canada hauled in four medals at a World Cup speedskating event in the Netherlands on Saturday.
“I am very proud of my race, because I was going for the gold. I knew that Xandra would probably pull from the front for the whole race, so I wanted to find myself in a good position to practice a pass on her,” said Boutin. “I left some distance between us to give myself enough space to try a pass. I am very proud to have been aggressive and successful in my execution. Another tool in my toolkit.”
“Since I was last on the start line, I knew that I would need to be aggressive in the first laps to make my way up the pack,” Dubois said. “When I found myself in second place behind Pascal, I decided to let him work a bit out front and then make a pass for the best chance to win. It was a very difficult race that I managed extremely well, so I am happy to win my first gold medal in the 1,000 this way.
