Kauf, who had previously won multiple silver medals, expressed a sense of redemption after her performance. Meanwhile, Perrine Laffont of France continued her dominance in women's moguls, winning her third consecutive title and sixth overall at the championships. In men's moguls, Japan's Ikuma Horishima captured the gold, preventing Mikael Kingsbury from securing his fourth consecutive title.
