Newfoundlander Nathan Young and his Hungarian teammate have advanced to the second round of the mixed doubles curling competition at the 2020 World Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Young, a 17-year-old from Torbay, is teamed with Hungary’s Laura Nagy in a mixed curling event that began with 48 duos created by scrambling the players from last week's 24-country mixed team event at the Games. The player matches for the doubles entries were determined by final standings in team play.
Young had been skip of the Canadian mixed team which went 5-1, its only loss coming in a playoff quarter-final.
Young and Nagy defeated a Swedish/Danish duo 11-5 in the first round of doubles play. They play a Chinese/Turkish pair in the Round of 24 today.
