Annie Perrault and Marc Gagnon have both won gold in short track. French Canadians, with no Asian heritage. Mark Bradbury from Australia also won Gold, I'm not sure but that doesn't sound like an Asian name.
The Dutch have never won a thing in Short Track; Catriona LeMay Doan is a long track skater.
The Dutch used to rule the track. Not anymore.
Catriona Le May Doan won gold in the 500m in both the 1998 and 2002 Olympics. She is Canadian and her ancestry is Scottish.
Well short track speed skating was created in Quebec, so you have to assume that Canada has earned a couple.
