From Park City, USA
(December 15, 2023) – Pat Norotn and his team had the two quickest starts and the fast downtime in each heat on their way to a .26 second victory over their Canadian teammates led by Taylor Austin.
The advantage was .16 after the first run. Austin took the lead from Jinsu Kim by .3 to guarantee a gold medal for Canada. Norton’s team gave him a second quick push and Norton took it from there as he cruised to a four-man bobsled victory in Park City.
Kim’s squad finished third, well ahead of USA’s Geoff Gadbois in fourth. Kris Horn and AJ Edelman rounded out the six sled field.
