Canadian speed skater Gilmore Junio didn't disappoint when given another chance to reach the podium in the men's 500 metres, finishing third in Sunday's World Cup event in Stavanger, Norway.
The Calgarian, coming off a fourth-place finish in Friday's opening day of competition, stopped the clock in 34.86 seconds, less than a half-second behind winner Pavel Kulizhnikov of Russia (34.52).
Junio squeezed his way on the podium, edging Kai Verbij of the Netherlands, who clocked 34.91, while Ruslan Murashov placed second in 34.78.
Three other Canadians finished among the top 10: Will Dutton (seventh, 34.97), Laurent Dubreuil (eighth, 34.98) and Alex Boisvert-Lacroix (ninth, 35.01).
Dubreuil of Levis, Que., was fifth in Friday's 500. He recorded an identical time as Julio but the latter was placed in fourth since he was .001 of a second faster than Dubreuil.
After 10 events, Boisvert-Lacroix has 463 points but is a distant second to Kulizhnikov, who boasts 705. The Russian also captured the men's 1,000 in Stavanger on Sunday with a time of one minute 8.10 seconds, less than one second ahead of Vincent De Haitre, who was sixth in 1:09.03, and fellow Canadian Alexandre St-Jean in seventh (1:09.08).
