LIVIGNO — Mikael Kingsbury reminded the world why he’s the most decorated freestyle skier in history on Sunday as he won a gold medal for Canada in the men’s dual moguls event at the Milan Cortina Games.

It was a day of yet more firsts in a career full of them: Canada’s first gold medal of the Games, and the first-ever gold medal in men’s dual moguls, which made its Olympic debut.

It was also a day of lasts for 33-year-old from Deux-Montagnes, Que., who confirmed he was skiing in his final Games.

“I gave everything, I had no regrets. I didn’t feel too nervous. I trusted my plan, I trusted the work that I put in with my team and just went for it. I’m really happy with the outcome,” he said.

“It wasn’t easy today. We had good conditions but the piste (mountin trail) was not easy. But I just trusted my years of experience and the work of my team. I gave it my all, everything I had in my body, to go for this medal.”

Kingsbury defeated Japan’s Ikuma Horishima 31-4 in the final round of the event.

He has settled for silver in the individual event earlier in the Games after losing a tiebreaker.

Kingsbury is one of the sport’s all-time greats, with 100 career World Cup wins. His Olympic medal tally rose Sunday to two gold and three silver.

“It’s the cherry on top of five Olympic starts and five medals. I got to win it in 2018 (in Pyeongchang, South Korea) in singles and I got to win it (today) in duals. It’s tough to find the words,” he said.
