Jakara Anthony made it a perfect four from four as she took moguls glory in Georgia while Ikuma Horishima was back on top on the men's side.
Australia's Anthony had won the first three FIS Freestyle Skiing Moguls World Cup events and there was no stopping her once again in Bakuriani, as she qualified in top spot before producing the best performances of both the first and second runs.
Her score of 79.08 saw her finish nearly two points clear of Japan's Rino Yanagimoto, with Hannah Soar taking bronze.
For the men, Horishima returned to winning ways, taking his second World Cup win of the season, having won the opener in Ruka.
After qualifying second behind Mikael Kingsbury, he again trailed the Canadian after the first run. However his score of 77.11 was enough to take the win ahead of Sweden's Filip Gravenfors, with Kingsbury having to settle for bronze.
Despite missing out on the victory, Kingsbury remains top of both the moguls and overall moguls World Cup standings, with Anthony well clear in the women's standings.
