This is his first success this season in the World Cup. The Frenchwoman Perrine Laffont won, on Saturday February 4, the parallel mogul skiing event disputed on the track of Deer Valley, in Utah, in the United States. She was opposed to American Jaelin Kauf.
The 24-year-old Frenchwoman thus signs her 27th victory in the World Cup for 91 starts, two days after her 50th podium – a third place in the individual moguls event in Deer Valley behind Australian Jakara Anthony, Olympic champion in title, and Jaelin Kauf, silver medalist at the 2022 Winter Games, held in Beijing.
One last step before the world championships
In the general classification of the Mogul Skiing World Cup, Perrine Laffont (650 points), 2018 Olympic champion in individual moguls in Pyeongchang (South Korea), is 14 points behind Jakara Anthony (664 points) at three events of the end of the season.
The next stage of moguls is scheduled for next week in Italy, at Chiesa in Valmalenco, with a parallel moguls event – a discipline which will appear on the Olympic program in 2026 –, the last before the world championships in Bakuriani (19 February-5 March). The mogul finals in Georgia are scheduled for Saturday February 25 and Sunday February 26.
The Pyrenees, 4th in the last Olympic Games, is triple world champion in mogul skiing: in parallel in 2017 and in 2019 and individually in 2021.
