Canada's short track speed skaters cleaned up in Montreal (again) while Rachel Homan added a new curling title and two swimmers grew their medal collections. Here's a recap of the top results by Canadian Olympic athletes over the weekend:
Short track speed skating: There's no place like home
After capturing six medals (including three gold) at the ISU Short Track World Tour opener, Canadians added eight more (including six gold) as Montreal hosted for the second straight week due to issues with Salt Lake City's track.
William Dandjinou led the way once again, winning the individual men's 1,500m and 1,000m races while also taking silver in the 500m and helping the men's relay team to its second straight gold. Through two World Tour stops, the 23-year-old rising star has already racked up five solo medals — four of them gold — and built a huge lead in the overall Crystal Globe standings.

Steven Dubois had another big weekend too, winning the men's 500m and helping Canada to gold in the men's and mixed relays. Last week, the 2022 Olympic triple medallist grabbed four medals (two solo). He's now fourth in the overall standings.
Canada's other gold medal came in the women's relay, where the team bounced back from last week's disqualification (and a near-disastrous crash in the semifinals) for the win.
The next short track World Tour stop is in early December in China. Salt Lake City was supposed to host the Four Continents
