Brian McKeever won his second gold medal at an IPC World Cup cross-country ski stop in Vuokatti, Finland on Tuesday.

 
McKeever, of Canmore, Alta., clocked 26 minutes 59.8 seconds to win the 10-kilometre race for the visually impaired with his brother Robin guiding the way to the golden spot on the podium. The pair also teamed up to win a 20-km race Sunday.

 
Russian skier Nikolay Polukhin was second and Frank Hoefle of Germany was third Tuesday. McKeever beat both men by more than three minutes.

 
"Brian destroyed the competition today," said coach Kaspar Wirz. "It was difficult skiing because we had rain this morning that switched to snow, but we had the best skis in the competition. We had rockets for skis." 

 
Wirz credited the excellent job the wax technician did for the Canadian athletes.

 
McKeever is looking to become the first athlete to compete in both the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. He made history last year after skiing in his first-ever able-bodied world championships where he finished 24th in a 15-kilometre skate-skiing race.

 
Colette Bourgonje, of Saskatoon, has also been enjoying a very successful IPC World Cup tour, having won three medals to date and added a silver in the women's 12.5-km sit-ski race Tuesday. 

 
"Colette had a good race, her arms became tired but she recovered well and felt good," said Wirz.

 
Bourgonje won two bronze medals at the 2006 Paralympics in Turin and two silver medals at the 1998 Games in Japan.

 
The IPC World Cup is divided into three categories for the various disabilities including: visually impaired, sit-skiing, and standing amputation and limb disability.
