She is the undisputed queen of moguls. In tears in the finish area as he performed his feat. Perrine Laffont made a little more history on Monday during the first day of the World Championships in Almaty, by becoming for the first time world champion in the individual (or singles or singles). The only major title that the Pyrenees had yet to conquer. Olympic gold, individual and parallel world gold, the mogul globe and the big crystal globe… the only 22-year-old skier has won them all at least once!
The French (82.11) dominated the Kazakh Yuliya Galysheva (79.59) and the Russian Anastasiia Smirnova (75.49).

The Ariégeoise started her day perfectly, finishing first in qualifying. An ideal start to the world championships before setting off for the final in a light fog. His first run in the final was a bit choppy in the upper part, seeking his line before regaining pace and speed.
Perrine Laffont then took the provisional 2nd place before the super final stages, behind the Kazakhe Yuliya Galysheva home. To finally win in the super final!
