Canadian moguls superstar Mikaël Kingsbury is four for four this season

The 31-year-old Deux-Montagnes, Que., native earned the dual moguls bronze medal at a World Cup event in Alpe d'Huez, France, on Saturday, edging Toronto's Louis-David Chalifoux in the small final. That continued Kingsbury's streak of podium results in all four events so far this season.

Julien Viel of Quebec City followed right after in fifth as the best of the competitors ousted in the quarterfinals. Gabriel Dufresne of Joliette, Que., and Sam Goodison of Fernie, B.C. were eliminated in the eight final.

Reigning moguls Olympic champion, Walter Wallberg bested fellow Swedish skier Rasmus Stegfeldt for gold in the big final.

Kingsbury now has four medals (three gold, one bronze) in as many World Cup events this season.

World Cup competition continues in Bakuriani, Goergia, next week, before landing in Val Saint-Come, Que., later in December.
