Controversy

In the men's 500 metres event, a false start was called in the last two heats, one of which included current World Cup champion Laurent Dubreuil. This was questioned by 1992 Winter Olympics Champion Bart Veldkamp.{{cite web|url=https://sporza.be/nl/2022/02/12/jury-veroorzaakt-ophef-met-valse-start-voor-canadese-topfavoriet-heel-verdacht~1644666526044/|title=Jury veroorzaakt ophef met "valse start" voor Canadese topfavoriet: "Heel verdacht"|trans-title=Jury causes controversy with "false start" for Canadian top favorite: "Very suspicious"|language=Dutch|date=12 February 2022|website=www.sporza.be|publisher=Sporza|access-date=12 February 2022}}
