sarault Wins Third Medal at Milano Cortina 2026 in 1000m Women’s Short Track
February 16, 2026
Courtney Sarault has won the silver medal in the 1000m women’s event, securing her third medal in short track speed skating at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
Starting from the inside lane, Courtney Sarault took the lead early in the nine-lap final. She maintained this position for the first two-thirds of the race, frequently checking her position relative to her competitors.
With three laps remaining, Xandra Velzeboer of the Netherlands moved to the front. Even though Kim Gilli of South Korea briefly overtook Sarault, the Canadian regained second place and finished just behind Velzeboer, who claimed her second gold medal of the Games following her victory in the 500m.
Sarault previously won silver in the mixed team relay and bronze in the women’s 500m. She is the first Canadian to win three medals at these Games.
This marks only the third Olympic medal for Canada in the women’s 1000m event. Nathalie Lambert won silver at Lillehammer 1994, and Kim Boutin also earned silver at PyeongChang 2018.
More details to follow.
