More gold for Aussie skiers in Salt Lake City
Blind skier Bart Bunting has won a second alpine gold medal at the Salt Lake Winter Paralympics, and Australia's fourth gold overall.
Bunting won the Super-G, adding to his victory in the downhill, to put Australia on top of the medal table in the Alpine races.
Bunting says he had a nervous time waiting for the competition to end.
"We knew we'd had a good run and we had a good time but you really can't tell how good it is until all the other guys come down," he said.
"I think that's the most nerve-wracking bit of it. Having finished your run, and waiting for the other competitors to come down."
