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.
