Jakara Anthony made it a double gold medal celebration in Alpe d’Huez, winning her first dual mogul event of the season, the 12th World Cup victory of her impressive career.
Anthony cruised through the early rounds of the event to set up a semi-final matchup against Tess Johnson of the USA. Anthony won convincingly with a score of 31-4 to advance to the big-final.
In the big final, Anthony faced another American, Olivia Giaccio, and in a much closer dual Anthony prevailed with a score of 20-15.
“It’s super exciting to go back-to-back at this event again, I did it a couple of years ago, but missed the first place in the duals last year, so to get a little redemption is nice” said the NSWIS skier.
In the men’s event Cooper Woods finished in 15th, Oliver Logan 44th and George Murphy 46th.
Anthony and Woods will now compete in the final World Cup of the year at Bakuriani, Georgia, in single and dual mogul competitions on December 22 and 23.
