On Sunday, Kingsbury soared to the top of the podium in dual moguls, dispatching Sweden's Walter Wallberg 19-16 in the final. "I believe in me, and I love competing," Kingsbury said. "I bet there's some people who get very nervous in competition. For me, it's important that I still feel a bit of emotion and stress at the top, because it means I care.In the big picture, Kingsbury is looking toward competing for at least another three years and suiting up for Canada at the 2026 Winter Games in the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
"The really great ones, like Mik, really take satisfaction in the daily pursuit of that kind of achievement, "said Peter Judge, CEO of Freestyle Canada. "He just has a hunger for the sport. He loves winning, but I think he loves doing the work to get there even more than that." "Look at a guy like LeBron James -- or somebody like Mik -- they become students of their own body," Judge said of Kingsbury, who won gold at the 2018 Winter Games and silver at the 2014 Winter Games. "They really understand how to get the most out of their body but also how to protect it.
