Mikaël Kingsbury posts golden sweep in Sweden with dual moguls victory
Canadian won gold in World Cup moguls event Friday in Idre Fjall
Canadian moguls superstar Mikaël Kingsbury will leave Idre Fjall, Sweden, with victories in both World Cup events after taking gold in Saturday's dual moguls final.
The Deux-Montagnes, Que., native scored 20.00 to top opponent Rasmus Stegfeldt of Sweden (15.00).
"I've achieved a few doubles in my career, but this one is special, especially since the Swedes are strong right now," said Kingsbury.
Ikuma Horishima of Japan won bronze by beating Sweden's Walter Wallberg in the small final.
"Walter had beaten me in Val St-Come [in January], so I had that extra bit of motivation against him in the semifinal," said Kingsbury.
