Kingsbury celebrates 60th victory at FIS Freestyle Skiing World Cup
Mikaël Kingsbury celebrated his 60th gold medal finish and Justine Dufour-Lapointe won bronze during the FIS Freestyle Moguls event in Calgary on Saturday.
With the support of the home crowd, Mikaël Kingsbury put on a show to claim his 60th World Cup gold medal. His score of 89.09 put him ahead of Sweden’s Walter Wallberg (85.10) and Dmitriy Reikherd of Kazakhstan (84.19).
Kingsbury won gold last year in Calgary, which was win number 53, so he is no stranger to the celebratory cowboy hats. He also won gold last weekend in Mont Tremblant.
