Sean MacKinnon a fellow Canadian grabbed Bronze in the team pursuit, finished 20 second back to take another bronze medal.
Having Family and Friends driving in from his hometown of Sainte-Perpétue, Quebec, saw Houle put on a display as he was racing for his brother Pierrik who sadly passed away in December 2012 after a hit and run accident while jogging.
“I had a really hard time in 2012 when I lost my brother. Now I am back and I raced for him today so I am glad I made it (to the top of the podium). Sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes it doesn’t pay off. But we need to be strong and keep going. Today was a successful day and we made it and I’m happy for that.”
