The FIS Freestyle Ski Moguls World Cup finally got

The FIS Freestyle Ski Moguls World Cup finally got back to business after an extended mid-season break with the first competition of 2023 taking place under the lights of Canada’s Val St. Come resort on Friday evening, where Quebec’s favourite son @mikaelkingsbury thrilled the home crowd with a dominant victory in the men’s competition. Mikael Kingsbury got the retribution you know he’s been thinking about for six long weeks, coming back from his first missed finals in 13 years at the Alpe d’Huez dual moguls World Cup to earn his third career Val St. Come victory in commanding fashion.

Since he first joined the FIS Freestyle World Cup tour back in 2009/10 Kingsbury has become one of the most - if not the most - consistent performers in FIS World Cup history in any discipline, with 108 podiums in 128 career starts leading up to Friday’s action.

When it comes to moguls skiing, it goes without saying now that Kingsbury is simply the greatest to ever do it. However, even the greats occasionally make mistakes like the one he made in Alpe d’Huez to end up in 29th position.

On Friday Kingsbury showed the Alpe d’Huez performance was most definitely in the past, as he came through with a statement performance on home soil to thrill the big Val St. Come on hand to watch their hero.

Kingsbury lead from qualifications right through to the superfinal on Friday, with his superfinal run especially a masterclass in essentially flawless moguls skiing. Earning the highest air and turns scores and putting down the second fastest time of the superfinal, Kingsbury’s total of 85.37 had him nearly four points clear of second-place finisher Walter Wallberg (SWE).

“It’s an amazing crowd. I missed it,” Kingsbury said from the finish area as the Canadian fans looked on, “Last time we competed in Canada it was during covid and we had no one at the bottom. But to have everyone here tonight was awesome. I could hear them from the top of the course.

“I’m just happy with how I played out my game today. It’s amazing to win at home. It’s the best feeling.”

The win was the 77th of Kingsbury’s career and his 109th podium,
