Alex Bilodeau beats fellow Canadian Mikael Kingsbury in dual moguls

ARE, Sweden – Dual moguls world champion Alex Bilodeau beat Canadian teammate Mikael Kingsbury in the freestyle World Cup on Saturday.

Bilodeau, of Rosemere, Que., also beat Kingsbury in the moguls final on Friday.

But Kingsbury, the moguls world champ from Deux-Montagne, Que., needs only three points from the season-ending dual moguls in Sierra Nevada, Spain, next week to win the overall.

Bradley Wilson of the United States beat Per Spett of Sweden for third.

Hannah Kearney of the U.S. defeated Yulia Galysheva of Kazakstan to win the women’s dual moguls.

Montreal’s Chloe Dufour-Lapointe took third ahead of American Heather McPhie, the moguls winner the previous day.

With one event left, Kearney leads the women’s standings by 60 points from Dufour-Lapointe, and 64 over McPhie.

Meanwhile, Alex Fiva of Switzerland held off home favourite Viktor Oehling Norberg to win the first of the weekend’s two skicross races.

Jean Frederic Chapuis of France, who won the world championship last weekend in Voss, Norway, was third.

Fiva extended his lead in skicross World Cup to 574 points, 140 points better than second-placed teammate Armin Niederer, with two events left.

Anna Woerner of Germany won the women’s race.

World champion Fanny Smith of Switzerland didn’t compete, but still leads the season standings by 34 points from Ophelie David of France.
