Felix Roussel of Sherbrooke, Que., appeared to originally take second place, but the Canadian was disqualified due to an arm push on eventual bronze medallist Michal Niewinski of Poland.

Montreal's Maxime Laoun placed fifth in the men's 1,000m final earlier in the day in a race that was won by Park Ji Won of South Korea.

In the chase for the Crystal Globe, Park's 1,071 points put him just ahead of Dubois' 1,052 in the overall standings. William Dandjinou of Montreal –  who is currently injured – is third with 784 points.

Dubois added another gold to his haul from Gdansk, this time as part of the Canadian men's 5,000m relay team that held off a late charge from South Korea and Japan.

The Canadian team of Dubois, Roussel, Pascal Dion, and Jordan Pierre-Gilles finished with a time of 6:55.577. South Korea was 0.388 seconds back, while Japan crossed the line 0.423 behind the winners.

Moncton, N.B., native Courtney Sarault placed fifth in the women's 500m final on Sunday, vaulting her into the top 10 in the women's Crystal Globe standings, led by South Korea's Kim Gilli.

Sarault also teamed up with Kim Boutin, Rikki Doak and Renee Marie Steenge in the women's 3,000m relay, where the Canadians were disqualified due to a lane change penalty.

The Netherlands took the victory while South Korea and the United States took silver and bronze, respectively.
