Freestyle skiing star Mikael Kingsbury is through to the quarterfinal in men’s dual moguls at the Milan Cortina Games.
The event is making its Olympic debut today. Unlike the individuals event, this competition sees skiers race each other down the mountain, with the one receiving a better score from judges advancing.
Kingsbury, 33, from Deux-Montagnes, Que. settled for silver medal in the individual event earlier in the week after losing a tiebreaker. Kingsbury has four career Olympic medals (one gold, three silver) and is the most decorated freestyle skier in history with 100 career World Cup wins.
