Austin Wins Second Straight NAC Gold Medal

From Park City, USA

Dec. 9, 2019 – Taylor Austin won both IBSF North American Cup 2-man races in Park City on Monday, with the second run of the first race counting as the finish of the second race.

Cunningham, making his first start since the 2018 Olympic Games, eased into two silver medals, ahead of Canada’s Jeff McKeen, who won his second bronze medal of the day.
