Dec. 11, 2019 – Canada’s Taylor Austin won his second gold medal on the strength of his second run in Race 3 of the North American Cup 4-man program. The gold was his second career NAC gold medal in 4-man bobsled.

With three races on the docket for the North American Cup stop in Park City, the IBSF has counted the second run of the two-heat race as its own race, giving Austin the win, and the United States’ Nick Cunningham silver.
