Il détient aussi de nombreux titres mondiaux dans chacune des épreuves individuelles. Lors de sa dernière course olympique, il a remporté l’or du relais 5000 m masculin avec ses coéquipiers Pascal Dion, Steven Dubois, Maxim Laoun et Jordan Pierre-Gilles. (Athlete, 05 Feb 2020, 13 Nov 2018)
He withdrew from the 2021 Canadian National Championships in Montreal, Quebec, after suffering a concussion.
He attended his first senior-level World Championships in 2004, but did not earn any medals. He won bronze in the 5000m relay event at the 2022 World Championships in Montreal, QC, Canada, in the final race of his career. The medal at the end doesn't mean anything - I had my last moment at home with my crowd, with my family and my daughter.
Sa récolte comprend 13 médailles d’or, dont cinq de ses médailles qui ont été remportées au relais 5000 m. He was a prominent medal hope for Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics, held on home soil, and he did not disappoint, winning the 500m competition and the 5,000m relay alongside his brother François, among others. His situation changed significantly in 2005, however, when he won gold medals in the 5,000m relay and team competitions, as well as silver in the 500m event and qualified for the 5,000m relay and 1,500m competitions at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
With the medal, he also became the first male athlete representing Canada to win six career medals of any colour at the Olympic Winter Games. Everyone would pile into the car and it was just about having fun and skating fast and doing the best we could."
Charles Hamelin had his international debut in short track speed skating in 2002 at the World Junior Championships, where he earned a silver medal with the 5,000m relay team.

RETIREMENT
He retired from competitive short track in 2022. The following year he took bronze in that same event, in addition to silver in the 500m and 1,500m competitions at the 2003 World Junior Championships.
Il a accumulé 142 médailles de Coupe du monde (58 d’or, 42 d’argent et 42 de bronze), notamment 84 d’épreuves individuelles. Les Canadiens ont remporté l’or grâce à une stratégie baptisée « Opération Cobra » qui a donné à Tremblay, le dernier relayeur, une période de repos prolongée avant d’effectuer les deux derniers tours.
After failing to win any medals at the 2010 World Championships, however, he has begun preparations to compete successfully at longer individual distances at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Il a terminé quatrième à la seule épreuve individuelle où il était inscrit, soit le 1500 m, mais il a remporté la première médaille olympique de sa carrière, l’argent, au sein de l’équipe du relais 5000 m.
Outside of this, he has also made plans to obtain a degree in kinesiology after his retirement.
