France's Perrine Laffont won her third mogul ski World Cup on Sunday, taking third place in the Almaty, Kazakhstan stage.
With only three events left by the end of the season, Olympic champion Pyeongchang has more than 300 points ahead of her Australian runner Jakara Anthony and can no longer be joined. "I'm super happy," says the Frenchwoman. It's amazing to win the globe three races before the end. Now I can unroll, have fun. It was hard at the start of the season to get back into it after last season, the first training sessions were difficult, but my team always believed in me, accompanied me in good and bad times. "

- France tv sport (@francetvsport) March 1, 2020Like last season, it is in the Kazakh station of Shymbulak, which overhangs Almaty, that the Ariégeoise conquered its title. She climbed onto the third step of the podium in a parallel event won by Jaelin Kauf of the United States, ahead of Jakara Anthony. “All of this teaches me that I am better when I do not take the lead, when I do not think of the result. Sometimes you have to stop thinking too much, always wondering how, why, ”slips the champion.
Laffont never ceases to dominate her discipline: after having disputed her first Olympic Games at the age of 15 in Sochi in 2014, she was a gold medalist at the Pyeongchang Games last year, and won this season seven of the nine races already contested, missing the podium only once.
