GUSTAV WEDER, of Switzerland, won his second gold medal of the European Championship, when he added the four- man title yesterday to the two-man he won last Saturday. The British four, piloted by Mark Tout, was in second place after the first two runs but was pipped by the Austrians for bronze by just 0.04sec.
