American skater Corinne Stoddard skated to her second silver of the season on the final day of competition at the Gdansk World Tour stop, placing 2nd in the women's 500m behind the Netherlands' Xandra Velzeboer.

Racing in a stacked final comprising five of the top-nine women in the race to the Crystal Globe — Velzeboer (3), her sister Michelle Velzeboer (8), Canadian skater and current world No. 1 Courtney Sarault, and South Korea's Choi Min-Jeong (4) — Stoddard slipped into second off the start and defended her position through the finish. The medal marks her sixth of the season.

Stoddard also placed 4th in the 1500m. She still stands as the second-ranked skater in the overall women's competition, narrowing the gap between her and Sarault to just 80 points with her silver.

Teammate Kristen Santos-Griswold placed 2nd in the 500m B Final. The reigning Crystal Globe champion stands in 7th-place overall.

With the win, Velzeboer extends her unbeaten streak in the international 500m, having won the distance at the 2025 World Championships and in both of the first two World Tour stops this season.

South Korea dominated much of the day's competition, making the podium in four of the five races contested.

The longtime short track juggernaut opened the day with a win, skating to gold in the mixed team relay, improving from silver at the second World Tour.

Choi Min-Jeong and Kim Gil-Li, the two women on South Korea's mixed relay squad, skated to a combined three individual prizes for South Korea as well: Min-Jeong collected bronze in the 500m and silver in the 1500m, while Gil-Li won the 1500m.

The country's win in the men's 5000m relay — their second of the season — came messily. As the Netherlands attempted an inside pass toward the front, a Dutch skaters bumped his skate into an Italian racer's skate and a Chinese opponent's glove, sending both teams sprawling. The Dutch skater remained stable but took a penalty for the move, knocking the Netherlands off the podium.

After two decisive performances on home ice during the first two World Tours this season, the Canadians were held to bronze in just three races on the final day of competition in Gdansk: the men's 1000m (Steven Dubois), the women's 1500m (Sarault), and the mixed relay. 

Coming into the weekend, Canada led the individual men's and women's overall competition, as well as the men's and mixed relays, and the women's relay team sat in 2nd. But in Gdansk, neither gendered relay team made the final. William Dandjinou, who led the race to the 2025 Crystal Globe by over 200 points after the first medal session day in Gdansk, crashed out in the 1000m semifinals, ending his five-race win streak. Sarault met a similar fate in the women's 500m finals.

The four-leg World Tour concludes Nov. 27-30 in Dordrecht, Netherlands, marking the last chance skaters have to not only rack up Crystal Globe points, but also to earn Olympic quota spots.
