Canadian freestyle ski star Mikaël Kingsbury was back on top of the World Cup podium on Saturday, claiming his second consecutive dual moguls title to open the season.
“Yesterday I was happy with my skiing, I knew I was skiing fast so I had a good chance in duals,” said Kingsbury, following the big final in Alpe d’Huez, France. “It’s cool to win both duals events [to open the season] before Christmas and to end the weekend on a good note.
“I could go home now and rest.”
Kingsbury earned a bronze medal Friday in the moguls super final event.
Japan’s Ikuma Horishima (20.00) finished third, a day after the Japanese athlete defeated the Canadian for the eighth time in the moguls super final.
Kingsbury, the reigning Olympic and world champion, missed the podium in moguls last weekend in Sweden, before bouncing back to win gold in dual moguls a day later.
