Canada’s Ivanie Blondin won the silver medal in the women’s mass start speed skating final at the Beijing Olympics on Saturday.
It’s the second medal of the 2022 Winter Games for Blondin, who won gold in the team event earlier in the week.
It’s also the first Olympic medal for Canada in the gruelling 16-lap mass start event, which made its debut at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games.
