He competed in the 500m event and finished up fourth. During his race, he was charged with a false start. This was questioned by Bart Veldkamp, who called it "very suspicious". [12] However Dubreuil said the false start was not an excuse for him not winning a race, and saying "it's something that's totally possible to overcome. It's just a minor inconvenience. That was not the difference." [13]
In the 1000m race, he finished second, earning the silver medal, his first Olympic podium finish. [3]
