Snowboarding at the 2026 Winter Olympics Free Streams: TV Channels, Medal Events

When snowboarding debuted at the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, in 1998, it consisted of just four events: men’s and women’s half-pipe and giant slalom. Since then, the sport has grown significantly in popularity, to the point where the snowboard program at Milano Cortina 2026 will include 11 events across five disciplines.

For those hoping to witness huge jumps and complicated tricks, the Big Air, Slopestyle and Halfpipe events are not to be missed. In these competitions, athletes compete in a best-of-three competition, throwing down their best moves to get the highest score from the judges. Athletes to watch include Austrian Anna Gasser, Japanese Hirano Ayumu and Australian Scotty James.
