At the 2007 Freestyle Skiing world championships in Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, Richards won the gold medal in the mogul competition, beating fellow Canadian and Olympic champion Jennifer Heil.

[1] Kristi Richards competed in the final of the moguls after finishing the qualifying run in 4th place.

Richards stood for a while and collected her thoughts, and to the cheers of the Canadians waiting at the bottom once again sped on her way to the second jump.

There she landed a back full and completed her run to a screaming throng of Canadian fans at the bottom.

[2] Richards recovered from her disappointing Olympics by winning a bronze at the 2011 World Championships in the moguls event.
