Canadian legend Mikael Kingsbury won the inaugural Olympic dual moguls gold medal on Sunday after narrowly missing out in the individual event.

Kingsbury won the final against Japan's individual event world champion Ikuma Horishima who lost control in the main moguls section and fluffed his second jump. The official score was 30-5.

Australia's Matt Graham beat Japan's Takuya Shimakawa in the small final to earn bronze.

The gold for Kingsbury came after he had lost the individual gold on Thursday against Australian Cooper Woods on countback after both had tied on points.
