“I have never won duals on this course in my career, today feels great!,” Kearney said. “Being the World Cup overall leader, there is nothing like it, you are literally on top of the world, it is a fantastic feeling

 “I think that in duals, you often assume that whoever crossed the line first took it, but turns are still 50 percent. She (Heather McPhie) has been pushing me all year, we’ve been so tight in times. I pushed myself but still stayed clean and that’s what won it for me tonight.

“Dual moguls can be more satisfying just because you have to ski more runs. Especially today, when everyone skied well against me and its just a long day when you have back-to-back competitions.”
