Mikaël Kingsbury wins back-to-back golds in Waterville

Mikaël Kingsbury swept both moguls events at the first FIS Freestyle World Cup of 2025 in Waterville, New Hampshire.

After winning gold in singles on Friday, Kingsbury beat Australia’s Matt Graham in the dual moguls final Saturday to win his fourth gold of the season.

On Friday, he scored 84.95 points in the second round of the final to get the win over American home favourite Nick Page.
