Austin Taylor came into the Canada Winter Games aiming for a gold medal, and that’s exactly what he’ll be bringing home.

The 18-year-old Winnipeg native captured gold in archery’s individual male compound event on Thursday with a final score of 148.

“It definitely means a lot. I was able to shoot strong and make the shots I wanted to throughout all my matches,” Taylor said.

He’ll have an opportunity to bring home another medal, as the compound mixed-team matches go today. Taylor, who will partner with Bryanne Lameg, is hoping for a similar result.

“My goal is to just keep making strong shots and hopefully we come out with the win.”
