Former moguls king Brassard stunned by Kingsbury’s 13 straight World Cup wins
MONTREAL — Even the former king of the moguls Jean-Luc Brassard can’t believe what Mikael Kingsbury has accomplished in the past year.
“It must be tough for other people to figure it out because it’s tough for me to figure out what Mikael has done,” Brassard said Friday. “It’s beyond imagination.”
This week, the 25-year-old Kingsbury swept a pair of events on the treacherous moguls course at Utah’s Deer Valley Resort, running his streak of World Cup wins to 13. The last time he didn’t win was Jan. 28, 2017.
The Deux-Montagnes, Que., skier was coming off a win Jan. 6 in Calgary, then won twice on a Deer Valley course that Brassard likens to Kitzbuehl, Germany for alpine skiers, who consider it the world’s toughest downhill track.
