Perrine Laffont, Ikuma Horishima win moguls world championships

Perrine Laffont of France won a third consecutive World Championship in moguls while Japan’s Ikuma Horishima earned his second title, ending Canadian Mikaël Kingsbury’s streak.

Laffont, the 2018 Olympic gold medalist, scored 77.92 points in her super final run to overtake Hinako Tomitaka of Japan.

“It’s hard to believe,” Laffont said through tears within minutes of the victory. “I didn’t think it could happen.”

Canadian Maia Schwinghammer earned bronze at worlds in Switzerland on Wednesday.

American Jaelin Kauf, the World Cup season champion, was eighth in the eight-woman final. Kauf was bumped off her line in the middle section of moguls.
