Bilodeau seals overall moguls title

CANADA'S Alexandre Bilodeau has captured the overall World Cup moguls crown with his fourth straight victory in Norway.

The 21-year-old has been invincible of late, and claimed his seventh podium finish in the eighth and final race of the season.

"Last year and the year before, I was training super well, but as soon as I came to competition I was doing 70 per cent of what I was capable to do," he said.

"There was something I wasn't doing in competition.

"Now my training is the same as my competition and I'm really happy about it. That's why I'm consistent. The results came with it."

The entire Canadian men's team have shaved their heads into mohawk hair styles in solidarity and in celebration of their second World Cup podium sweep of the season last week in Are, Sweden.

"We have six mohawks," added Bilodeau. "Having two sweeps this year, it's going to stay in the history of moguls skiing in Canada for sure for a long time."

But he was the only Canadian on the moguls podium Friday as teammate Vincent Marquis was sixth and Pierre-Alexandre Rousseau was eliminated in the preliminary round.

Finland's Tapio Luusua and American Michael Morse took silver and bronze respectively.

Bilodeau's latest victory gave him an unbeatable 690 points atop the moguls standings with one race left in La Plagne, France, in March.

France's Guilbault Colas trails Bilodeau with 484 points while Vincent Marquis is battling for third overall with 317 just ahead of Rousseau at 284.

In the women's event, Japan's Aiko Uemura took gold, ahead of the Czech Republic's Nikola Sudova and compatriot Miki Ito.

Reigning Olympic champion Jennifer Heil was fifth in the women's event, one place ahead of overall rival Hannah Kearney of the USA.
