Taylor takes double bronze at Telemark World championships

Jaz Taylor‘s incredible season continued at the Telemark World Championships with a brace of bronze medals in the Sprint and Classic disciplines.

The Telemark calendar now shifts back to World Cup races, with a single meet left and the Overall Crystal Globe title still on the line, with Taylor holding the advantage against Argeline Tan Bouquet in second place.
