Australian duo Jakara Anthony and Matt Graham have captured a golden double at the moguls freestyle skiing World Cup at Deer Valley in the United States, both topping the podium.

Olympic champion Anthony lodged her fourth victory of the season to secure the World Cup Crystal Globe as overall champion, while Graham claimed his first World Cup win in two years.

It's just the second time that Australia has won both the men's and women's events at a World Cup round, with Graham previously winning gold in in 2017 Calgary alongside Britt Cox.

Anthony finished ahead of American Jaelin Kauf with France's Perrine Laffont taking the bronze medal.

The second-last skier to compete on the famous Utah course, Victorian Anthony posted a score of 80.15 with Japanese teenager Anri Kawamura, who won the last world cup, crashing on her final run.

She was well clear of Bejiing bronze medallist Kauf, who scored 77.35, while Laffont, who won silver behind Anthony in the 2022 Games, was third with a 77.17.

Veteran Graham, who had a disappointing Olympics last year after his preparation was interrupted by a broken collarbone, finished ahead of legendary Canadian Mikael Kingsbury.

On the tough course which saw many skiers bomb out, Pyeongchang Olympic silver medallist Graham skied an almost flawless run to score 85.35, a new personal best.

He finished ahead of silver medallist Kingsbury's mark of 83.65 with Frenchman Benjamin Cavet in third with 81.82.

Kingsbury's result, which was his ninth medal of the season, was enough for him to secure the Crystal Globe in the men's competition.
