Pascal Dion’s early-season success on the ice extended beyond the 1,000-metre distance on Saturday.

The Montreal speed skater finished second in the men’s 1,500 behind China’s Ren Ziwei at a short track World Cup event in Debrecen, Hungary.

On Oct. 31, Dion captured bronze in the men’s 1,000, his second medal in the distance in as many races this World Cup season, and relay gold with Steven Dubois, Jordan Pierre-Gilles and Hamelin in Nagoya, Japan.

On the women’s side, fellow Canadians Courtney Sarault of Moncton, N.B., and Kim Boutin of Sherbrooke, Que., picked up bronze medals in the 1,500 and 500, respectively.
