In just a few years, Courtney Sarault has gone from a highly decorated junior skater to one of Canada’s most consistent international podium threats. Her breakout junior career saw her win four medals throughout three World Junior Championship appearances from 2017 to 2019. In 2018, she was crowned vice-champion and Speed Skating Canada’s short track Rising Star. She was also the recipient of the Nathalie Lambert Award for Female Short Track Athlete of the Year.
Since joining the World Cup circuit at the start of the 2018-2019 season, Courtney has been one of the country’s most successful female skaters, earning five individual distance medals, along with six in the women’s and mixed-gender relays. She also finished third overall at the 2019 Four Continents Championships, earning silver in the 1000m and bronze in the 500m.
Courtney made history at the 2021 World Championship, where at the age of 20, she won silver in the 1500m and bronze in the 1000m, which helped her claim the title of vice-champion. In her Olympic debut at Beijing 2022, she finished fourth with the 3000m relay team and competed individually in the 1000m and 1500m. She capped off the season at the 2022 World Championships in Montreal, where she helped the 3000m relay team win the silver medal and had a near-podium in the 1500m.
A force to be reckoned with on the world stage, Courtney will look to take home some hardware for Canada at Milan 2026.
