Canada won silver in both events while China completed the podium in the men's standings and Italy took bronze in the women's event.

Double Olympic champion Lee Jung-Su played a key role for the men's team over the weekend but despite winning his 1000m race, was beaten by Canada's Olivier Jean over 500m, his least favoured distance.

Great Britain's men - Jon Eley, Jack Whelbourne, Paul Worth and Ian Upcott - finished eighth overall while the women's team - Elise Christie, Charlotte Gilmartin, Sarah Lindsay and Alex Whelbourne - were sixth.
