Intro:
American Patrick Deneen won gold after beating team-mate Jeremy Cota in the final of the men's FIS World Cup singles.
Meanwhile, in the women's event, the all-conquering Hannah Kearney won her second World Cup race in the space of two days after she beat Czech Nikola Sudova.
Script:
The penultimate weekend of the freestyle World Cup season saw American duo Patrick Deneen and Hannah Kearney triumph in the dual moguls in Are in Sweden.
In the men's Deneen earned his second victory of the year after beating team-mates Bradley Wilson in the semi-final and Cota in the final.
Ahead of Deneen's win, overall title and crystal globe winner Mikael Kingsbury, edged out Bradley Wilson for a third-place finish.
Despite recording his worst finish of the campaign, Kingsbury has already sealed eight golds, three silver and now one bronze medal.
In the women's final, Olympic champion Hannah Kearney continued her rich vein of form with her second World Cup win in as many days.
After seeing off Chloe Dufour-Lapointe on Friday, she got the better of Czech Nikola Sudova, crossing the finish line 0.76 seconds ahead of her second-placed counterpart.
Heather McPhie finished third.
The World Cup moguls competition concludes in Megeve, France on March 18.
