KREISCHBERG, Austria (AP) -- Freestyle skiers Bryon Wilson and Heather McPhie of the United States won a World Cup dual moguls event Saturday.

In the men's final, Wilson beat Alex Bilodeau of Canada for his first career World Cup win. Defending World Cup moguls champion Mikael Kingsbury placed third after beating fellow Canadian Philippe Marquis in the small final.
