It was really hard to let go of the Grand Prix (overall standings). I feel Im on top of my game," said Bilodeau, who is fourth in the overall standings. "Its hard to swallow, but I just have to let them go." Thats not a problem for Heil, a native of Spruce Grove, Alta., who holds a 149-point lead atop the standings over American Heather McPhie through 10 of 12 events. Heil was fifth in the qualification round Friday before upping her game in the final. "Every season Im definitely skiing for the crystal globe," said Heil, who is chasing the retired Donna Weinbrechts mark of five overall titles. "I dont know whats up with me and flatter courses, but I always find them challenging," she continued. "I was trying to find my groove and rhythm, and it took me the semifinals and finals to find it." Heils score of 25.31 left her behind 2010 Olympic championn Hannah Kearney of the U. Authentic Welker JerseyS., who posted a 26.06 while producing the days fastest time of 24.33 seconds. Heil was close behind, at 24.56 seconds, but she said Kearney deserved the win. "She skied a great run and I had major errors on both my jumps," said Heil. Olympic bronze medallist Shannon Bahrke of the U.S. was third and McPhie fourth. Five other Canadians reached the womens final. Chloe Dufour-Lapointe of Montreal was fifth, sister Maxime Dufour-Lapointe was eighth, and Kristi Richards of Summerland, B.C., 10th. World Cup rookie Beatrice Bilodeau of Rosemere, Que., was 15th and Audrey Robichaud of Quebec City 16th. In the mens event, Jesper Bjoernlund of Sweden won his third World Cup of the season to move to second in the overall moguls standings behind Dale Begg-Smith of Australia. Bjoernlund, who finished eighth at the Olympics, edged Patrick Deneen of the U.S., 25.91 to 25.72 for the gold. Gingras, with his third career World Cup medal, scored 25.57. "Maxime did a really, really good run," said Bilodeau. "He was the fastest in the middle section Ive ever seen. He really impressed me and the rest of the team." In fourth, at 25.39, was World Cup rookie Cedric Rochon of St-Sauveur, Que. Other Canadian finalists were Vincent Marquis of Quebec City in seventh and World Cup rookie Mikael Kingsbury of Deux-Montagnes, Que., in 15th. Action continues Saturday with dual moguls. ' ' '
