Kenworthy wins halfpipe

PARK CITY, Utah

American Gus Kenworthy won the halfpipe final in the U.S. Grand Prix on Saturday night, scoring 95.60 points on his second run.

“I am so stoked!” Kenworthy said. “Today was really good for me.”

Kenworthy, the Olympic silver medalist from Telluride, Colorado, was third Friday in the slopestyle.

“I was hoping to have done a little better yesterday,” Kenworthy said. “The run I ended up getting third with was like the dumbed-down version of my run, so I was really hungry coming into today. I’ve wanted to do a run with four doubles for a while. I just learned that dub 12 at the last Grand Prix. It felt good to add that in and do three doubles at the bottom.”

France’s Kevin Rolland was second at 93.00, followed by Olympic champion David Wise of Reno, Nevada, at 90.40.

Dungey races to third AMA win

ATLANTA

Ryan Dungey raced to his third AMA Supercross victory of the season Saturday night, easily holding off Eli Tomac at the Georgia Dome.

Dungey, the KTM rider who finished second behind Chad Reed last week in the Atlanta opener, extended his season lead to 30 points over Honda’s Trey Canard after nine of 17 races.

Dungey won the inaugural “Duel in The Dome” trophy as the top finisher in the two races.

Fellow KTM rider Marvin Musquin won the 250SX race.

“With Marvin’s win, it was perfect execution,” Dungey said. “The Honda boys were breathing on me, but I was able to put some distance between us as the race went on. Winning the Duel in the Dome is icing on top of a great race.”

Dungey has 17 career 450SX victories. He also won the third Anaheim, California, race and in Arlington, Texas, this season.
