Chiesa in Valmalenco set for dual moguls World Cup action

Moving over to the men’s event, obviously all eyes will be on Mikael Kingsbury (CAN), who also clinched the single moguls title in Deer Valley and is leading the way in dual moguls as well as overall moguls standings.

After winning the last dual moguls event and reclaiming the dual moguls yellow bib, Kingsbury will be certainly looking to assert his dominance on tour in 2022/23. In fact he only needs a top-3 finish on Saturday to secure the overall moguls crystal globe and his career’s 23 World Cup title. And with just one more title to his name Kingsbury would set yet another outstanding milestone, overtaking the great Conny Kissling for the most FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup titles in history.

When looking for other favourites in Valmalenco there is the Swedish duo of Walter Wallberg and Filip Gravenfors, who sits in respective second and third place in the dual moguls ranking.

Then keep an eye on Matt Graham, who had a tremendous weekend in Deer Valley, winning the moguls competition and then backing it up with a runner-up spot in dual moguls.

Going down the starting list we also have Ikuma Horishima (JPN), Ben Cavet (FRA) and Pavel Kolmakov (KAZ), as well as  the up-and-coming US squad led by Nick Page and Cole McDonald, who should also see some support from the veteran Dylan Walczyk.

The competition in Chiesa in Valmalenco is set to start with women’s and men’s preliminary rounds at 11:00 CET with finals following right after at 13:30.
