Australia's Matt Graham has finished second at the moguls World Cup event in Val Saint-Come, Canada.

It was an impressive performance from the 21-year-old Graham, who placed seventh at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014.

Graham finished with a total score of 87.74.

The event was taken out by Canadian Mikael Kingsbury, with countryman Laurent Dumais third.

"I had to lay down a really solid final run in order to make the super final, so to get back on the podium has given me a lot of confidence going into Calgary and Deer Valley over the next two weeks," Graham said.

Australia's moguls head coach Steve Desovich was delighted with Graham's performance.

"Matt continues to demonstrate outstanding quality in both his jumps and turns and he is being recognised now for his superb skills," Desovich said.

In the women's section, Australian Britt Cox also put in an impressive display finishing seventh, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the Top Six Super Final by 0.28 points.

In a remarkable result, the top three places in the women's final were taken by Canadian sisters, Justine, Chloe and Maxine Dufour-Lapointe.
