“It’s kind of hard to have that abrupt stop.' Canadian skier Mikaël Kingsbury spoke with EmmySadler about his season, life in quarantine and an upcoming off-season of unknowns.

After another successful season on the slopes, Canadian moguls skier Mikaël Kingsbury is now home for a rest – a little earlier than usual, and with some strict rules aboutThe International Ski Federation made the decision earlier this month to cancel the Freestyle Ski Moguls World Cup Finals in Idre Fjall, Sweden.

“It’s kind of hard to have that abrupt stop,” Kingsbury told Sportsnet. “I was still feeling very good and had a lot of skiing in me, but I’m very happy … I think I can say it’s my best World Cup season of my career.” What I’m the most proud of this year is, my worst result is second place in the World Cup [events] and I think all the second places I had were worth gold — I could’ve won any of my second place, but was just beaten by a better run each time, and by the same guy that is ranked second in the world, Japan’s Ikuma Horishima.

I knew I was going to win the Tour so it’s not a big problem for me, but for some people … I understand for them it’s frustrating because you’re fighting for World Cup spots or for funding or stuff like that so it’s hard for some athletes. But understanding the situation, you know, it was safer to have everyone back to their countries and being back home and starting that quarantine as fast as we can.

I think it was a good call from Team Canada to pull out and now they decided to postpone until next year. In these moments, my season is over and I’m kind of like on vacation and I can just be at home and do little workouts just to stay in shape. I don’t need to train right now. I have a lot of time. My next event is in late November, early December.Just watching Netflix, playing some video games, doing some workouts at home and just trying to stay healthy.
