HEERENVEEN, Netherlands - Canada s speedskating team capped its last warmup for the world championship with a pair of sprint bronze medals from Laurent Dubreuil on Sunday.
The 28-year-old from Levis, Que., was third in the World Cup men s 500 and 1,000-metres a day after taking silver in another 500. I m pretty tired, but the day went really well, Dubreuil said.
Canada finished the three-day World Cup with six medals, including gold in women s team pursuit.
The global COVID-19 pandemic shrunk the speedskating season to a pair of World Cup events in Heerenveen the last two weeks, with the Feb. 11-14 world championship to be held in the same venue.

Canada s speedskaters faced the added challenge of no ice to skate on at Calgary s Olympic Oval because of a mechanical failure in September.
They had two weeks of indoor training in Fort St. John, B.C., in November and otherwise skated outdoors in Red Deer, Alta., or did short-track training in Calgary.
