Canada?s Kim Boutin receiving online death threats following her speedskating bronze-medal win
 

Canada?s Kim Boutin has been subjected to online threats following her bronze-medal win in the 500-metre short-track speedskating event at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

Boutin won with a time of 43.881 seconds, which put her in fourth. But the athlete from Sherbrooke, Que., was bumped up to third after South Korea?s Minjeong Choi was disqualified for interfering with the Canadian in Tuesday?s event.

Following her win, Boutin?s social media accounts were bombarded by apparent angry South Korean fans, some threatening the speedskater with her life.

According to Radio-Canada, most of the threats were posted on Boutin?s Instagram page, which has been turned to a private account.

?If I find you, you will die,? reads one comment, according to Radio-Canada. ?Retire and I hope you have a hard life.?
