Mikael Kingsbury remains moguls king

Canadian moguls star Mikael Kingsbury put on a dominant display over the weekend that placed him in some rarefied company, while biathlete Emma Lunder became the latest Canmore, Alta., athlete to make a name for herself.

Here is your Canadian Trail:

Best in the world

Mikael Kingsbury continues to show why he’s the best men’s moguls skier in the world.

Facing teammate Philippe Marquis of Quebec City, Kingsbury defeated his Canadian compatriot 19-16 on Sunday to win the World Cup dual event in Tazawako, Japan.

It was the seventh straight World Cup moguls title for the skier from Deux-Montagnes, Que., breaking the record held by American Jeremy Bloom.

The dual moguls win was also the 28th World Cup victory of Kingsbury's career, tying him with Frenchman Edgar Grospiron on the all-time list.

But Kingsbury’s accomplishment is more impressive.

The 22-year-old star hit his milestone in 60 World Cups, whereas Grospiron needed 78th starts to reach No. 28.

Kingsbury also won the single mogul event on Saturday, clinching the Crystal Globe awarded to the FIS moguls points leader, the fourth of his career.

Hometown delight

Emma Lunder picked the perfect place to have the best performance of her biathlon career.

The Canmore, Alta., native delighted her hometown crowd by winning a silver medal in the women’s 7.5-kilometre IBU Cup sprint race on Saturday.

Lunder, 24, who had a clean shooting session, made up 15 seconds on the field in her final loop to secure her first podium.

“To do it in Canmore, with my mom cheering and everyone who has supported me for the last five years while I’ve lived here is amazing,” said an emotional Lunder of her first medal.

“I knew I could have a good race, but there is now way I expected this. I’m just so glad I can represent our entire team.”

Faulty strategy costs Harvey

Alex Harvey admittedly used too much energy to challenge for a medal Sunday at the Nordic skiing world championships in Falun, Sweden.

The St-Ferreol-les-Neiges, Que., cross country skier finished fifth through the falling snow on hill Falun track. Harvey said he “didn’t read the situation better” when he chose to stay with the eventual bronze medallist Johan Olsson of Sweden, early in the race.

But the fifth-place finish didn’t put a damper on Harvey’s overall performance at these world championships.

Last Sunday, Harvey edged Norway's Didrik Toenseth in a sprint for the bronze in the 30-kilometre skiathlon. 

Two days earlier, Harvey won a silver medal in the men’s sprint.

Canadians 4th in team relay

Canada's bobsled and skeleton athletes fell one spot shy of a podium finish Sunday in the team event at the world championships in Winterberg, Germany.

The team relay competition is made up of one man and one woman’s skeleton sled, plus a two-man and woman’s bobsled. Each sled takes one turn down the track and all times are combined to determine the overall placing.

The Canadian squad, which finished fourth, consisted of Dave Greszczyszyn (Burlington, Ont.), Elisabeth Vathje (Calgary), Kaillie Humphries (Calgary), Kate O’Brien (Calgary), Justin Kripps (Summerland, B.C.) and Alex Kopacz (London, Ont.).
