Canada's Roussel and Laoun finish 1,2 in 500-metre short track World Tour stop in Montreal

First medals of the weekend are on the table. Tunbor, Felix Roussel, Thomas Natalini, Jens Van Aertvout and Maxime Laune. To the start. Roussel, what a jump out of position number two already with clear space. And that is an early warning sign. A clash of the skates with Natalini and Thunboer. Thunboer seems unfazed by it, but he's got work to track down. Felix Roussel, who's flying out front in this race. Already Roussel with the gap that does tend to come down. Here comes Jens Van het Voudt into third. He has his teammate to go, and then Felix Roussel down to the final lap and a half. Thunboer up the inside. Can he make it stick? Not quite. Yes, he does. And now Jens Van het Voudt into second. It is Dutch. One and two. Van het Voudt. Oh my, and they go in together, Husserl is gold, Laune is second, as the two Dutch Lions come together, the Canadian Ice Maples, one and two, and Natalini in third. Short track speed skating, oh my goodness, that was just a wild finish, the frustration from Tunbar, he felt like he had the medal hanging around his neck going into that last corner, but Jens van der Woordt wanting that fourth gold, wow. We do not often see teammates coming together on the final turn in a medal race. I'm thinking Rotterdam 2024 at the World Championships, where Korean skaters came together on the final lap twice. But I cannot think of anything since then. And so Thunboer, Jens van het Voudt had the Dutch in a great position as we look back. Well, Felix Grusel just powering out front. Everyone has to track him down. Felix Roussel, a little bit of a slip. He just loses a little bit of speed, and that allows Tim Boar to close the gap and then make this beautiful inside pass. Felix Roussel, hey, I got to give way, concede. He gave him a little bit of a check there, but Tim Boar able to hold the exit, keep the speed going. He ends up picking his way through, but there's that late entry attempt on the inside. Tim Boar holding his position. Both Dutch skaters going down. Here we go, late pass, Boar. Already showing the frustration even before he hit the mat. Quickly checked if they were okay and there there will be some discussions afterwards I'm sure.
