Canadian freestyle skier Mikael Kingsbury’s streak of World Cup mogul victories ended at five on Friday.

France’s Benjamin Cavet, whose last victory was in Idre Fjäll, Sweden, in December 2020, scored 84.08 points, narrowly ahead of Kingsbury (82.93). Severi Vierela (80.80) took third, becoming the first Finnish skier to reach the podium since Jimi Salonen’s silver at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah in 2016.

Kingsbury, from Deux-Montagnes, Que., had won every race since the World Cup in Almaty last March, a run that included three solo victories and two dual wins.

The last time he missed a World Cup podium was February in Deer Valley when he finished sixth in dual moguls.
