Career
Cournoyer won a surprise bronze medal in the 500 m at the 2014 Winter Olympics. After winning the medal he said that "I came in here to have as much fun as possible. I was expecting to be good but the bronze medal? It was a fog for me. I was just racing, doing what I know. The atmosphere was really great, with Victor An winning the gold medal. It was super loud." He was the youngest member of the Canadian short track team at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Cournoyer had been pegged by national director, Yves Hamelin, as a rising star in Canadian short track. Hamelin said that "He’s the one we invested a lot in the last couple of years." His son Charles Hamelin, an Olympic star for Canada also spoke highly of Cournoyer saying that "He’s the future of short track for Canada. It’s good for him to bring back a medal. It will put some confidence in his skating."
