In the women's Olympic champion in office Justine Dufour-Lapointe has also added the world title to his palmares, improving the third-place finish at the World Championships Voss two years ago. The Dufour-Lapointe, who this season's World Cup has got a third place in Calgary and a second place in Deer Valley in moguls, beat defending champion Hannah Kearney, who this time & egrave; had to make the medal 'silver. The twenty-eight US has signed a score of 85.66 in the super final, not enough to beat the 87.25 points of the Canadian, who & egrave; was pi & ugrave; performance of rival both as regards the time taken to perform the descent both for the cleaning of the guide in running the humps. For this Kearney & egrave; fourth medal in this specialty & agrave; after the gold in 2005 and 2013 and the 'silver 2011.
