Canadian short-tracker Brunelle wins silver
Canadian speedskater Florence Brunelle capped her junior career on Sunday by winning a silver medal at the world junior short track championships.
Brunelle, from Trois-Rivières, Que., made a double-inside pass late in the race to take second spot behind South Korea’s Gilli Kim, who finished in one minute 32.294 seconds.“I was ready to go out and win today, but after the first two laps I found myself at the back of the pack,” Brunelle said. “Given the circumstances of the race, I had to adapt and find a way to make some passes and get back into contention. I am happy with how I was able to overcome that challenge.
Brunelle, 19, became the first Canadian to reach the podium in all three individual distances at a single world junior championship since Marie-Ève Drolet in 2001.
