Justine Dufour-Lapointe wins World Cup dual moguls in Deer Valley

Canada's Justine Dufour-Lapointe won a World Cup moguls event in Deer Valley Saturday, her second moguls triumph in three days at the Utah ski resort.

Dufour-Lapointe defeated Kazakhstan's Yulia Galysheva in the final, 22-13. It was her third World Cup victory of the 2015-16 season and came two days after she won the moguls event.

It was the 33rd World Cup podium performance for the 21-year-old Montrealer who reigns as the world and Olympic champion in moguls.

Four other Canadians finished in the top 10 led by Audrey Robichaud, sixth, Alex-Anne Gagne, eighth, Maxime Dufour-Lapointe, ninth and Andi Naude, 10th. Chloe Dufour-Lapointe was 14th.

On the men's side, Mikaël Kingsbury missed the podium in a World Cup event for the first time this season. The reigning world dual moguls champion and 2014 Olympic moguls silver medallist was upset by Finland's Jimi Salomen in the quarter-finals. Salomen went on to finish second to Anthony Benna of France. Kingsbury placed fifth.

Kingsbury, 23, from Deux-montagnes, Que. won the first three World Cup events of the season before finishing second Thursday in the moguls competition.

Other Canadians included Philippe Marquis, 13th, Gabriel Dufresne, 23rd and Brenden Kelly, 40th.
