Girard, St.-Gelais put Canada on short-track World Cup podium in Calgary
CALGARY — Canada’s short-track speedskating team put a hard number on the medals they want to win at the season-opening World Cup in Calgary.
At least eight medals in eight individual races was the stated goal.
The host team was a quarter of the way to the target Saturday with a 500-metre gold from Samuel Girard and a silver in the women’s 500 from Marianne St.-Gelais at the Olympic Oval.
Racing concludes Sunday with another 500 metres and the 1,000 metres for the men and women, plus the men’s and women’s relays.
