The U.S. is the second team to complete a podium sweep at the 2014 Winter Games.

The Netherlands claimed all three medals in the men’s 5,000m speed skating event.

It wasn’t a strong outing for the Quebec native, who posted a score of 5.00 in his first run in the finals after having some difficulty at the top of the park.

Beaulieu-Marchand started off strong in the final run of the event, only to crash out on the second jump at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.

Beaulieu-Marchand finished 12th with a best score of 21.40.
