Mikaël Kingsbury’s Duel in the New Olympic Discipline
Mikaël Kingsbury is ready to showcase his skills in the newly introduced dual mogul skiing event.

After a heartbreaking silver medal finish in his previous event, Kingsbury is eager to claim gold. His determination to excel is palpable as he approaches this new challenge.
