Mikaël Kingsbury Ends Olympic Career with Historic Dual Moguls Gold at Winter Olympics 2026
Under the bright sun glinting off the Livigno slopes, Mikaël Kingsbury capped his final Olympic appearance with a stunning gold medal performance. On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Kingsbury became the inaugural Olympic champion in the men’s dual moguls event at Milano Cortina 2026, marking a perfect conclusion to his illustrious career.
With this victory, the Canadian superstar secured his fifth Olympic medal and his second career Olympic gold, solidifying his status as the most decorated freestyle skier in history. Across five Olympic competitions, Kingsbury has consistently showcased skill, precision, and resilience—leaving the Games with a record few can match.
“I saw a lot of comments online about Canadians being so close to gold but always falling short,” Kingsbury reflected in an interview with Olympics.com. “I really wanted to change that and bring the gold home for my team.”
At 33, Kingsbury has reached the pinnacle of his sport, combining a career filled with World Cup victories and Olympic success into one final, unforgettable performance. While it remains uncertain whether he will continue competing in non-Olympic seasons, he has bid farewell to the Olympic stage in the way he has always known best—standing atop the podium.
Kingsbury’s golden finale not only delivers Canada its first gold of the 2026 Winter Games but also serves as a crowning achievement in a legendary career that has inspired countless athletes worldwide.
