Jakara Anthony has claimed her sixth podium of the season, with a silver medal performance at the World Cup mogul skiing event in Tremblant, Canada.
 
After just missing the podium placing fifth in Saturday’s competition, Anthony was again one of the leading athletes in the qualification and first round of finals, to advance to the super final in fourth place.
 
In the super final Anthony had another great run scoring 79.02 points from the judges to finish 3.53 points behind 2018 Olympic Champion Perrine Laffont of France. Rounding out the podium in third place was Anri Kawamura of Japan with a score of 78.78.

 
The podium performance sees Anthony ranked second on the World Cup standings with 365 points, just four behind Kawamura with 369 points, and 15 ahead of Laffont on 350 points.
 
“The course here in Tremblant was really fun today, it’s really developed over the four days we have been skiing on it, and very different to the previous course in Alpe d’Huez in France,” said the 23-year-old from Barwon Heads in Victoria.
 
“It’s a busy few weeks for us with back-to-back double single mogul events in two different locations here in Tremblant and next week in Deer Valley, which everyone is excited for. It’s always a favourite event for the Australian team and the whole World Cup tour, so I look forward to getting back on the Champion run at Deer Valley.”
 
Joining Anthony in the women’s final was Britt Cox in 13th with Brodie Summers and James Matheson reaching the men’s final, finishing in 13th and 16th place respectively.

In Saturday's first World Cup event, Sophie Ash joined Anthony in the women's final, placing 13th - which is her equal best World Cup result. While in the men's, Cooper Woods recorded a career best result, placing 9th.
