Jakara Anthony a dual World Cup champion

Australian Olympic champion Jakara Anthony has won the World Cup season crown for moguls and dual moguls.

Olympic champion Jakara Anthony has completed a record-breaking freestyle mogul skiing campaign with two coveted World Cup crystal globes as a dual season champion.

The 23-year-old Australian finished with two silver medals at the final events of the season in Megeve, France at the weekend.

The results were enough to secure Anthony her first overall World Cup season crown as the No.1 ranked mogul skier and also claim the dual mogul season title.

Her two silvers gave her a remarkable 12 medals from 13 starts, the most ever won by an Australia in a single World Cup season.

She became the second Australian female to win the overall mogul skiing World Cup Crystal Globe, joining Britt Cox who led the world in 2016-17.

Competing in the French Alps resort, Anthony finished a close second to French rival Perrine Laffont in both the single (Olympic format) and dual mogul events.

"It's an incredible way to finish off the season," Anthony said.

"The crowd here were incredible, and to get to ski against Perrine, one of the great female athletes in our sport, was really special.

"This is my first time taking the big globe and this is the first time we have had a dual mogul globe, so to be able to take that out just really shows how consistent I have been able to be this season at a really high level.

"It wasn't easy, the women's field is so high this year and everyone is just really stepping up their game, so these feel extra special."

Anthony topped the overall mogul standings with 925 points, 19 points clear of Laffont, with Japan's Anri Kawamura third with 704 points.
