Canada’s Mikael Kingsbury captures back-to-back World Cup moguls victories
TAZAWAKO, Japan — Canada’s Mikael Kingsbury continues to rule the World Cup moguls circuit.
The 24-year-old from Deux-Montagnes, Que., captured his second freestyle World Cup gold medal of the weekend on Sunday, edging Benjamin Cavet of France to claim the dual moguls event.
Kingsbury won the singles moguls event on Saturday, and now with one World Cup remaining next weekend in Taiwoo, China, and then the world championships in Sierra Nevada, Spain, Kingsbury is poised to complete a thoroughly dominant freestyle season.
“It feels amazing,” Kingsbury said. “I want to manage my body for the next two events. I won five World Cups in a row so I’m in good position to win both Crystal Globes, and now the main goal is to win both (moguls and dual moguls at the) world championships. So my focus is on that and try to get some good quality skiing in China then head to Spain with a mission.”
