At the Milan Cortina Games, Canada achieved a remarkable feat by winning a silver medal in the short-track speedskating mixed team relay. The team, consisting of William Dandjinou, Kim Boutin, Félix Roussel, and Courtney Sarault, completed the race in a time of 2 minutes and 39.258 seconds, finishing behind Italy and ahead of Belgium. This victory is particularly significant for Dandjinou, who is competing in his inaugural Olympics after an impressive performance at the 2025 short-track world championships where he secured three golds and one silver.

Kim Boutin, a seasoned athlete, claimed her fifth Olympic medal with this performance, further solidifying her status in short-track speedskating. The Canadian team had previously been the reigning world champions in the mixed relay but faced a setback in the 2022 Beijing Games, where they were disqualified and ended up off the podium. With this silver medal, Canada celebrates not only a comeback in the event but also marks its overall third medal at the ongoing Games and its first silver of the tournament.

This success in the mixed team relay strengthens Canada's position in winter sports and reflects the nations' competitive spirit and talent in short-track speedskating. As the Games progress, this could potentially set the stage for more medal opportunities and build momentum for Canadian athletes, reminding the world of their skills on this international platform.
