CBC
Canada's Mikael Kingsbury climbed a World Cup podium for the 100th time Thursday, capturing gold in men's moguls.
The 29-year-old from Deux-Montagnes, Que., finished first with a score of 83.28 points.
Japan's Ikuma Horishima (81.98) and Kosuke Sugimoto (79.02) took silver and bronze respectively.
"I'm really happy with my day. It's my fourth win in a row. The course here at Deer Valley is not easy. It's one of the toughest in the world, especially with the warm weather conditions today. The battle against Ikuma was a good one. It's nice to be on top of the track with him," said Kingsbury moments after his win.
Laurent Dumais of Quebec City finished 11th.
