Laurent Dubreuil has redeemed himself in speed skating’s 500 metres, earning Olympic bronze after missing the medal podium by 3-100ths of a second four years ago.
At 33, the oldest man in a field of 29, he reached the finish in 34.26 seconds at Milano Speed Skating Stadium.
Before Saturday, Kevin Overlund was the most recent Canadian to earn bronze in the men’s event at the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan.
American Jordan Stolz won Saturday’s race in 33.37, the Olympic record by 49-100ths of a second and nine minutes after Dubreuil lowered the mark. Jenning de Boo of the Netherlands captured silver in 33.88.
