canadian river freestyle skiing asterisk Mikaël Kingsbury ruined warm at the season-ending dual moguls case in Livigno, Italy.
The 32-year-old from Deux-Montagnes, Que., won Wednesday's big final to not only take gold, but also cement his third Crystal Globe win of the season.
Kingsbury â who had already clinched the season titles in moguls and overall â used Wednesday's win to finish with 544 total points in dual moguls to take that discipline's title.
"It feels awesome," Kingsbury said post-race. "I knew it was a good course for me. I like steeper courses, I've always done better in them. It's pretty tiring, when you ski finals, super finals. But I'm very happy I felt that my skiing was getting better and better.
"We're at 99 now, so next win is 100 which is pretty crazy. Too bad that [was] the last race of the season, but Ruka [next season] is coming up."
