Antoine Gélinas-Beaulieu

BIOGRAPHY

After a brilliant junior career in both short track and long track, Antoine Gélinas-Beaulieu stepped away from speed skating in 2012, only to return four years later to continue chasing his Olympic dream as a member of the long track national team.

Gélinas-Beaulieu won a combined nine career medals at the World Junior Championships, six in short track and three in long track. In 2010, he reached the overall podium in both disciplines, earning silver in short track and bronze in long track. He stepped away from the sport for nearly four years, due in part to illness and overtraining, only to re-emerged in 2016 as a long track skater focused on middle distances and the newly created mass start discipline.

Gélinas-Beaulieu made his World Cup debut in 2017-2018 but failed to crack the Olympic team for PyeongChang 2018. His resurgence continued during the 2018-2019 season, where he would earn two bronze medals as a part of the Team Sprint squad. The following season he would capture bronze in the mass start at the World Single Distance Championships, joining teammate Jordan Belchos as the only Canadian male skaters to reach the World Championship podium in that distance.

Gélinas-Beaulieu was named Speed Skating Canada’s Rising Star in both short track and long track following the 2010 season, the only athlete to ever accomplish that feat.

He trains in Quebec City alongside his dog Gregor, who is named after national team coach Gregor Jelonek.
