Two-time Olympic champion Jakara Anthony has topped another stellar world cup season with the Australian superstar claiming the FIS crystal globe as the individual moguls champion.
Fresh off the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, where Anthony won the first ever women's dual moguls gold medal to add to her Beijing individual title, the Victorian was declared the 2025-26 season champion.
The season's final event in Shahdag, Azerbaijan, originally due for March 14-15, was axed due to the military action in the middle east.
That left 27-year-old on level points with American Olivia Giaccio, with Anthony winning her eighth crystal globe on a countback having topped three world cup podiums (Ruka, Val St. Come, Waterville), while her rival had one victory in Nanto-Toyama, Japan.
Giaccio still claimed the overall title, taking in individual and duals to win her first season-ending trophy with the Australian runner-up.
Her Australian teammate Matt Graham finished second in both the individual and overall standings with the veteran winning the last event in Japan, but unable to catch Ikuma Horishima with the cancellation of the last competition.
An Italy duals bronze medallist, Graham finished 11 points behind in the individual competition while the Japanese ace dominated the overall, a clear 128 points ahead of the field.
Meanwhile, Valentino Guseli has won silver in the men's world cup halfpipe event after adverse weather forced the cancellation of the final round in Sapporo, Japan over the weekend.
In qualifying the 20-year-old Australian posted a big score of 89.00 to sit second behind Japan's Olympic champion Yuto Totsuka, who scored 91.50, with the results used as the final standings due to the heavy snow.
There's one event remaining to close out the season, in Silvaplana, Switzerland later this month with Totsuka leading the world cup standings with 396 points, ahead of Guseli (350).
