Team China's Lin Xiaojun, Liu Shaolin, Liu Shaoang and Sun Long won the men's 5,000m relay at the short track speed skating World Cup in Montreal on Sunday, ahead of Team Canada and Team Kazakhstan, as the Chinese squad wrapped up their campaign at the second leg of the ISU World Cup series with two golds, one silver and one bronze. 

Liu Shaolin put China ahead with 25 laps remaining, as the Chinese team expanded their lead before clocking 7:03.468 to finish first. 

Earlier on Saturday, the Chinese skaters won the mixed 2,000m relay gold medal and clinched a 2-3 finish in the men's 500m. They also won two gold medals from the previous leg in the mixed 2,000m relay and the men's 500m.

The Four Continents Championships is set to take place in Canada from November 3 to 5, before Team China compete in front of a home crowd in Beijing for the third leg of the World Cup series from December 8 to 10.
