Canadian Gold Medals! And Bronze is nothing to sneeze at!

Way to go Matt!



CHUNCHEON, South Korea (CP) - Mathieu Turcotte led the Canadian men to the gold medal at the short-track speed skating world team championship Sunday with victories in two races.

The Canadian women took the bronze.

In the team event, there are heats in the 500, 1,000 and 3,000 metres and a relay. A skater from each country races in each heat and the top three finishers in each earn points for their country. Relay points are doubled.

The Canadian men finished first in the four-country final with 43 points, beating defending champion South Korea with 36. China was third with 22.
