Calgary golden moguls territory for Canadian freestyle star Mikael Kingsbury
CALGARY — The best moguls skier on the planet is also a tennis fan.
Winner of six straight World Cup gold in Calgary, Mikael Kingsbury says the Canada Olympic Park course feels to him how a Grand Slam must feel to a tennis star.
“It’s kind of like Rafael Nadal when he’s in Roland Garros,” Kingsbury said Thursday after a training session. “He won there so many years in a row. It’s kind of like that for me here.”
The all-time leader in World Cup victories was keeping an eye on the Australian Open as he prepared to defend his gold Saturday in Calgary.
