Since its debut as an official medal sport in 1992, freestyle skiing has grown significantly and will feature seven disciplines at Milan Cortina 2026. This includes a brand new addition of double moguls, where two skiers race side by side on a challenging course that requires speed, balance and aerial prowess.
Like moguls, ski cross is another event that often produces a lot of drama. With four athletes tackling a course filled with obstacles such as jumps, rollers and berms, victory can be decided by the tightest of margins. It is also the only event that does not require any judgment because it is the speed that counts.
The rest of the freeski program includes traditional moguls, jumps, halfpipe, slicestyle and big air. All of these elements are likely to produce memorable moments because they force skiers to perform gravity-defying tricks. Athletes to watch include China’s Eileen Gu (who won three gold medals in 2022), Canada’s rising star Mikaël Kingsbury, halfpipe world champion Zoe Atkin of Great Britain and Italy’s Miro Tabanelli (the first man to land a 2340).
