But even Alexandre Bilodeau admits no one predicted it would happen so soon. Bilodeau, from Rosemere, Que., won gold Friday to lead another Canadian sweep at a freestyle World Cup, while Jennifer Heil of Spruce Grove, Alta., added silver in the womens event.

"Were a really strong team, the mens team, and I knew we had the potential to make it again and it happened again for the second (time) this year." Bilodeau scored 26.11 points while Pierre-Alexandre Rousseau of Drummondville, Que., took the silver (25.96) and Vincent Marquis of Quebec City won the bronze (25.44).

"This is amazing," said Rousseau. "Like I said the first time we did this (medal sweep), theres more of this to come." Added Marquis. "Its an amazing feeling to be able to do this twice. Maybe it felt a little like mission impossible, but weve done it again, and its probably as exciting as the first time." It was the second straight victory for the 21-year-old Bilodeau, who also tops the World Cup standings. He sped to gold last weekend at Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver, B.C., the freestyle venue for the 2010 Winter Olympics. He has three gold and two silvers this season.

Heil, meanwhile, finished second in the womens moguls with 24.74 points. The silver moved her closer to overall moguls leader Hannah Kearney of the U.S., who was fourth.
