Boutin participated as part of Canada’s team at the 2018 Winter Olympics. She came in 4th in the Women’s 500 m, but following the judge’s disqualification of South Korean Choi Min-jeong who finished 2nd in a photo finish, Boutin was awarded the bronze. Reports initially suggested the disqualification was due to contact with race winner Arianna Fontana, but were later stated to be due to an earlier contact with Boutin. The following day, it was announced that Boutin had been receiving negative comments from South Koreans, including reports of death threats. The Canadian Olympic Committee took the threats very seriously and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were investigating the incidents. It was an emotional and painful experience for the skater and, upon receiving her medal, she was photographed in tears. She said later of it all that “it was pretty tough. I’m a sensitive person.”
On November 3, 2019 she set a new world record time of 41.936 seconds in the women’s 500m event, becoming the first woman to skate the 500 in under 42 seconds.
