Jakara Anthony claims victory in France with dominant display at Alpe d'Huez to move further ahead in the standings.
abc.net.au/news/jakara-anthony-wins-another-world-cup-event-in-alpe-d-huez/101784694Jakara Anthony has continued her breathtaking start to the freestyle skiing season, with Australia's sole winter Olympic champion once again proving far too good for her World Cup moguls rivals.
For the third straight week, after triumphs in Ruka, Finland and Idre Fjall, Sweden, Anthony was in a class of her own as she landed her hat-trick of titles by a substantial margin to extend her lead in both the moguls and overall moguls standings. Her mastery of the turns and the quality of her jumps meant she crushed her nearest challenger, home favourite Perrine Laffont, by nearly four points as she ended up amassing 79.70 points.Anthony was not as fast on her final run as Laffont and the speedy Lemley, but the judges scored her turns and dominant tricks as more than two points superior to her rivals.
Now the 24-year-old from Barwon Heads in Victoria will be out to score a weekend double in the dual moguls at the French resort in her last event of the year.
