PYEONGCHANG, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Frenchwoman Perrine Laffont took away the gold medal of freestyle skiing women's moguls at PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games here on Sunday.

Laffont finished a total of 78.65 points from a combination of time, air and turns.

Canada's Justine Dufour-Lapointe bagged the silver with just 0.09 points behind, while the third place went to Yulia Galysheva of Kazakhstan in 77.40.

Two Chinese mogulers, Wang Jin and Guan Ziyan, failed to secure their berths in the final through qualifications earlier on Sunday, while harvesting a lot in their preparation for the next edition Winter Olympics in 2022.

"I can learn from world-class skiers in terms of mentality facing such a big event, also on the correct technique," said Wang, adding that her focus in the next phase will be on adjusting mentality. Enditem
