Kingsbury, a three-time Olympic medallist, captured moguls gold on Friday night in front of the home crowd for his 77th career World Cup win.

Elliot Vaillancourt (10th), Julien Viel (11th) and Louis-David Chalifoux (14th) were the next highest finishers for Canada in the men's event on Saturday.

The Swedish duo of Wallberg and Gravenfors sit just ahead of Kingsbury in the dual moguls World Cup standings, but Kingsbury leads the way in the overall men's standings over Japan's Ikuma Horishima, who finished eighth in the dual moguls event on Saturday.

In the women's event, 21-year-old Maïa Schwinghammer of Saskatoon led the Canadian contingent with a 12th-place finish, followed by 22-year-old Berkley Brown of Aurora, Ont., in 16th.

Japan's Anri Kawamura won gold for the second day in a row, while Perrine Laffont of France and Makayla Gerken Schofield of Great Britain claimed silver and bronze, respectively.

Kawamura holds a small lead over Australia's Jakara Anthony — who finished ninth on Saturday — in the overall women's moguls standings, while Schwinghammer is the highest ranking Canadian in 11th.

The next moguls event on the World Cup circuit will take place at Deer Valley Resort in Utah from Feb. 2-4.
