Bilodeau, Canadians rule World Cup moguls at Are
ARE, Sweden — Canada’s moguls domination was on full display Friday at a World Cup in Are, Sweden, with Canada taking four of the top six places in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
Olympic and world champion Alex Bilodeau won Friday's event, capping off a three-medal day for Canada.
Jenn Heil of Spruce Grove, Alta., earned silver and Mikael Kingsbury of Deux Montagnes, Que.. collected bronze.
Montreal's Bilodeau followed his first-place qualification run with a smooth trip in the final to win with a score of 26.17.
“The moguls here are a bit bigger than we've seen all season, and they're firm — like we ski in Quebec — I think that gave me an edge because I could really showcase my absorption technique,” said Bilodeau, who is third in the overall standings.
France's Guilbaut Colas was second to retain his lead in the World Cup standings.
Kingsbury was third after making a small mistake in landing his top jump.
Kingsbury and Bilodeau have shared five podiums so far this season.
"I like learning from Alex and we're definitely pushing each other," said Kingsbury.
Eddie Hicks of Langley, B.C., was fifth, ahead of Pierre-Alexandre Rousseau in sixth.
Hannah Kearney won the women's event with 26.33, ahead of Heil at 25.61 and fellow American Heather McPhie at 25.08.
"I came out here to push it for my last three World Cups and that's what I did today." said Heil, who is retiring at the end of the season. "I think I performed just shy of a great run.
"I could have been more dynamic on my turns, but I had my best 360 of the season."
Kristi Richards of Summerland, B.C., was fourth, Audrey Robichaud of Quebec City, fifth and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe of Montreal sixth.
The World Cup continues Saturday with a dual moguls event.
