Mikael Kingsbury captures Canada’s first 2026 Olympic gold in dual moguls

The King has restored Olympic order for Canada.

Mikael Kingsbury has given Canada its first gold medal at Milano Cortina 2026 with a win on Day 9 in the Olympic debut of men’s dual moguls.

The most decorated moguls skier of all-time, Kingsbury, 33, won silver earlier in the Olympics in the men’s event.

Sunday’s triumph marks his fifth career Olympic medal (two gold, three silver).

Kingsbury, from Deux-Montagnes, Que., beat longtime rival Ikuma Horishima of Japan in the final.

Canada now has nine medals at these Olympics — one gold, three silver, five bronze.

Kingsbury lived up to his favoured status in dual moguls. He had won gold in the event at the past four world championships.

More to come.
