    Canada's Mikael Kingsbury won moguls gold Saturday for his second World Cup crown in as many days.

    "I liked my skiing, I think I was skiing a bit better than yesterday," said Kingsbury, who also earned his 99th career World Cup podium. "I wasn't scoring as much but I was happier with my ski."

    Brenden Kelly of Pemberton, B.C., was 10th.

    Perrine Laffont of France won the women's competition. Australia's Jakara Anthony took silver and Japan's Anri Kawamura picked up bronze.

    Montreal's Chloe Dufour-Lapointe was the top Canadian in eighth place.
