Aussie Cox wins World Cup moguls medal

Australian moguls skier Britt Cox has finished third at the World Cup dual moguls event in Deer Valley, Australia's second World Cup medal in 24 hours.

Australian moguls skier Britt Cox secured Australia's second World Cup medal in 24 hours, finishing third in the dual moguls event at Deer Valley.

It is the third time Cox has finished third in a World Cup dual moguls event and follows a silver medal from Matt Graham in the singles event the night before.

The 20-year-old Cox improved on her sixth place in the singles event at Deer Valley and said her podium performance was a little unexpected.

"It did come as a bit of a surprise but it feels awesome, really good," Cox said.

"I trained so hard all year and I really wanted it.

"I have a lot of confidence because of the way I have trained this year and this is more evidence that shows me that I am capable of skiing well," she said.

Canada's reigning Olympic champion Justine Dufour-Lapointe won the women's competition with American two-time Olympic medallist Hannah Kearney in second.

Graham backed up his maiden World Cup podium with a sixth-place finish in the dual event.

His success at Deer Valley has lifted his World Cup ranking to No.4.
