SHANGHAI — The Canadian women's short-track relay team ended a five-year gold-medal drought Sunday by winning the relay race at the ISU speedskating World Cup.
Alyson Charles of Montreal, Courtney Sarault of Moncton, N.B., Danae Blais of Chateauguay, Que., Boutin of Sherbrooke, Que., helped Canada finish the race in four minutes 9.460 seconds to capture gold in the women's relay for the first time since the 2014-2015 season. It was the fourth medal of the season for the team, who won three consecutive bronze before Sunday.
Canada was in the lead for much of the race, jockeying for position with eventual silver medallist the Netherlands for only a few laps prior to the last exchange. The United States were upgraded from fourth to bronze after Korea was disqualified. Boutin has earned a medal in all eight of her individual distance this season — six gold, one silver and one bronze — and is currently ranked first in the 500, fourth in the 1,000 and fifth in the 1,500.
