KREISCHBERG, Austria - Justine Dufour-Lapointe loves winning freestyle skiing medals. But every event, every run, is all about smaller objectives for the Montreal native.Dufour-Lapointe added to her Olympic gold medal by winning the world moguls title on Sunday, while Mikael Kingsbury of Deux-Montagnes, Que., took silver in the mens event.Dufour-Lapointe, who earned bronze at the 2013 worlds in Norway, scored 87.25 points in the final. Defending champion Hannah Kearney of the United States, who took the title in 2005 and again two years ago, won silver with 85.66, while Brittney Cox of Australia gained 81.98 for the bronze medal.Every time Im going to a competition Im asking myself what my one true objective is. What my one true goal is that Im setting by myself, said Dufour-Lapointe. Its not like the colour of a medal or just a medal. Its the way I want to ski. For example, sometimes Im setting for myself to ski the fastest for the day.This is how I figure it out. I focus on the right thing and then the medal appears.Breaking each competition down into smaller goals has worked well for her this season, with Dufour-Lapointe earning medals at her last three competitions. She won bronze in moguls at Calgary on Jan. 3, silver in the event at Deer Valley, Colo., on Jan. 9 and then gold in dual moguls on Jan. 10, again at Deer Valley.On Sunday, Dufour-Lapointes objective was to adjust her style to the shorter run at Kreischberg, Austria.Because the course was smaller than usual my main focus was on being really clean and at the same time being really fast. Its a balance. You need to be fast but also really compact and clean. That was my main goal and I think I did it well all day long.Added Dufour-Lapointe: I think this is maybe why I won today.Dufour-Lapointes older sister Maxime finished 1.06 points short of the podium in fourth, while her other sister, Chloe, is the 2013 dual moguls world champion.Im so happy for my sister Maxime. She skied so well. Shes improving every competition. She always surprises us, shes amazing, said Justine Dufour-Lapointe. Of course Chloe didnt make it today with us in the super final. It was really heartbreaking for me.Its always fun to know that both of my sisters are there next to me. Were like a little team together. I always feel stronger when theyre there.On the mens side, Kingsbury lost to Anthony Benna by 0.35 points, as the Frenchman ended on 86.89 points. Russias Alexandr Smyshlyaev scored 85.68 for bronze, edging fourth-place and 2009 world champion Patrick Deneen of the United States by only 0.04.Sundays silver ended a run of three-straight golds by Kingsbury. He took the top prize in moguls in Calgary, then won gold in moguls and dual moguls in Deer Valley the next week.Like Justine Dufour-Lapointe, Kingsbury tries not to emphasize medals, but instead concentrates on his personal process on the slopes.Im just focusing on myself right now. Focusing on skiing well and not trying to focus on the results, said Kingsbury. Thats helped me a lot. Im just following my process and I know that if I ski well I put myself into a position to win every time.Kingsbury had been leading competition all day, but had a slight miscalculation on his first jump at the top of the hill in the super final.Quebec Citys Philippe Marquis also competed in the mens super final, but did not finish his run and officially finished sixth overall. Teammate Simon Pouliot-Cavanagh, also from Quebec City, ended the day in 17th place after stumbling in the final 1.Benna hadnt finished in the top 15 of a major championship before. Benna earned his most recent of four career World Cup podiums in Finland in December.Still, Kingsbury thought Benna deserved the world championship.Im not surprised because hes a very good skier. He deserved the title today, said Kingsbury. I think if I hadnt have made my mistake I think I would have had a very good chance of winning, but its great. Hes a great guy and Im very happy for him.The next medal event of the freestyle skiing world championships is the dual moguls on Monday.___With files from The Associated Press Ray Bourque Jersey .

So when Ned Yosts own guys worked a pair of walks against the Yankees on Saturday night in the sixth inning of a tied game, the often-dour manager had an optimistic thought. "Lets turn it around this time," Yost said. Salvador Perez did just that. The big catcher belted a three-run homer into the bullpen in left field, and Eric Hosmer added a solo shot later in the game, sending Kansas City to an 8-4 victory over New York. "Ive said all along, I thought we have home-run power," said Yost, whose team has hit just 26 homers -- by far the fewest in the majors. "Itll manifest itself in time." Alex Gordon, Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar and Nori Aoki drove in a run apiece as the Royals bounced back from an offensively inept performance in a 4-2 series-opening loss Friday night. Aaron Crow (3-1) retired one batter in the sixth in relief of starter Danny Duffy, and breezed through the seventh to earn the victory. Kelvin Herrera and Michael Mariot finished it off. David Phelps (1-4) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and two walks in 5 2-3 innings. "Frustrating is the PG-rated word for it," he said. "I was pitching decent going into later parts of games, but its tough to win ballgames when you give up four runs in the sixth and seventh inning. Its frustrating." Yangervis Solarte drove in a pair of runs for New York, and Carlos Beltran -- whos been bothered by an ailing elbow and is still relegated to designated hitter duty -- got an RBI with his first hit since coming off the disabled list Thursday. "Its like starting over for me," Beltran said. "One day, two days is not going to do it, any difference. Basically you have to play every day and with playing time that will come. I cannot tell you (when). I wish I could know." The Royals struck first when Billy Butler and Gordon led off the second inning with back-to-back doubles, and Cain and Escobar provided run-scoring singles for a 3-0 lead. It took the Yankees until the sixth tto answer.dddddddddddd Derek Jeter started the rally with a single and Mark Teixeira kept it going with a two-out walk. Beltran followed with an RBI double against his former team, and Solarte tied the game 3-all when his sinking liner to centre field dropped just beyond Cains outstretched glove. Duffy, who appeared bothered by lengthy waits for television breaks between innings, was eventually removed after allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in 5 2-3 innings. The Royals made sure to pick him up. Butler and Gordon worked walks to start the bottom half of the sixth, earning Phelps a visit from Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild. It didnt do any good. Two pitches later, Perez sent a no-doubt homer into the bullpen in left field to restore the Royals three-run lead. "We needed that," Perez said. "Its not been easy, but its coming." Cain tripled later in the inning, and Aokis RBI single knocked Phelps from the game. "We just scored three runs. Thats the worst kind of team error right there," Phelps said. "To go out and we have all the momentum right there and in nine pitches gave it right back." It was another poor outing by the Yankees right-hander, who moved from the bullpen into the rotation last month. Phelps has lost four straight decisions, allowing 16 runs in the last three. Hosmers homer leading off the seventh was his first since May 5, a span of 130 at-bats, and Brian Roberts tacked on a run off Mariot in the ninth inning that proved to be moot. "Youve got to keep battling back," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Were still fighting." NOTES: The Yankees have not scored more than four runs in any of their last nine games. ...
