MILAN (AP) --- Dutch star Xandra Velzeboer won the 1,000 meters gold medal in
women's short track speedskating on Monday, four days after topping the podium
in the 500 the Milan Cortina Olympics.
Velzeboer finished first in the final in 1 minute, 28.437 seconds, with
Canada's Courtney Sarault in second for the silver medal followed by South
Korea's Kim Gilli, who took bronze.
Home favorite Arianna Fontana, in her sixth Games and owner of 13 Olympic
medals in her career, was fourth.
U.S. skater Kristen Santos-Griswold was looking for redemption at these Games
but couldn't get out of the quarterfinals. Four years ago at the Beijing
Olympics, she was leading the 1,000 meters final before crashing when Fontana
cut inside. The Connecticut native was the 2024 world champion at 1,000 meters.
Canada's Kim Boutin, the 1,000 meters silver medalist at the 2018 Games, also
failed to advance from the quarterfinals.
