Mikaël Kingsbury downs rival Horishima in dual moguls for World Cup season title

Canadian freestyle skiing star Mikaël Kingsbury completed his spectacular season Saturday with a victory in dual moguls, one day after taking the single moguls event in Megève, France.

Facing good friend and rival Ikuma Horishima in the final, Kingsbury scored a decisive victory after Horishima lost his balance on the second jump.

Kingsbury, who hails from Deux-Montagnes, Que., added Crystal Globes in dual moguls and overall moguls as World Cup season champion after securing his spot atop the moguls rankings on Friday.

"It's crazy. It was a great final," Kingsbury said in a statement released by Freestyle Canada. "I'm happy to finish the season on a high note and be 2-for-2 here in Megève, in front of this amazing crowd. I feel awesome."

Kingsbury gave a shout-out to his teammate.

"I'd like to thank my teammate Gabriel Dufresne. He told me I should go and switch to the red course, and the strategy paid off."
