Galysheva, Colas take World Cup dual moguls wins in Meribel, three Americans on podium
After opening the season last Saturday in Ruka, Finland, the World Cup moguls skiing tour continued today (Dec. 15) in Meribel, France with a dual moguls competition. Kazakhstan’s Yulia Galysheva grabbed her first career World Cup podium with the win along side France’s Guilbaut Colas.
Colas earned his 10th World Cup victory after holding off American Patrick Deneen in the final. Deneen, a fist time World Cup winner last Saturday, finished second ahead of teammate and Olympic bronze medalist Bryon Wilson in third.
Olympic champion Alexandre Bilodeau led the Canadian men in fifth place.
Good news for the U.S. Freestyle Ski Teamalso came from Sho Kashima, who finished 20th. After a season ending injury last year, Kashima is recovering ahead of schedule.
On the women’s side, Galysheva was the victor in a face off against Olympic gold medalist and last week’s winner, American Hannah Kearney, who finished second.
“I qualified first, which was a nice way to continue my quality of skiing. Unfortunately, in the finals I went too large off the top air and blew out a little in the middle section,” explained Kearney. “Second place is nice, but it leaves room for improvement in China.”
Canada’s Justine DuFour-LaPointe rounded out the podium in third place. It was the 16-year-old Canadian’s second World Cup start.
“I’m really stoked, I actually can’t quite believe it right now because it came so fast,” said DuFour-LaPointe. “I think I did so well because the course looked a lot like what I’m used to in Quebec, icy and small moguls. So, I just fought really hard and did my best.”
Olympic sliver medalist and reigning overall title holder, Canadian Jennifer Heil finished sixth.
On Dec. 17th, the FIS Freestyle World Cup is making its first ever moguls stop in China.
