South Korean bobsledders Won Yun-jong and Jun Jung-lin claimed their second international victory in two days on Friday.
At the Lake Placid America’s Cup event in New York, Won and Jun finished first in the two-race final at the two-man bobsled race with a time of 1:53.65.
They beat out the U.S. duo of Codie Bascue and Michael McCarty, who came in second with 1:54.36.
A day earlier, Won and Jun ranked first with 1:53.91. They were the fastest tandem in all four races held in the past two days.
