The Quebecer once again dominated his competitors with a very good score of 85.59 in the super final. He beat the Swedish Walter Wallberg (82.66) and his Japanese rival Ikuma Horishima (78.78) on the podium. The day before, the same trio had taken the same positions.
Kingsbury’s gold medal allows him to take the lead in the overall standings by 12 points, ahead of Horishima.
Laurent Dumais and Alexandre Lavoie did well by recording 14th and 17th position respectively. Author of a top 10 the day before, Gabriel Dufresne had more difficulties and had to settle for 28th place.
Behind Kingsbury, British Columbian Brenden Kelly was the top Canadian, in 10th place.
A good result for Chloé Dufour-Lapointe
Among the women, Chloé Dufour-Lapointe recorded her best result in two years, an eighth position. His sister Justine finished 11th.
Chloe had not made the top 10 since December 2019, in Thaiwoo, China. The silver medalist of the Sochi Olympic Games will thus be full of confidence, she who occupies the 14th place in the standings.
The French Perrine Laffont is back on the top step of the podium, making you forget her fall in Alpe d’Huez last December. The 23-year-old skier finished second on Friday.
Australian Jakara Anthony and young Japanese Anri Kawamura completed the top 3.
