Since debuting as an official medal sport in 1992, freestyle skiing has expanded significantly, and will feature seven disciplines at Milan Cortina 2026. This includes a brand new addition in dual moguls, where two skiers race side-by-side down a challenging course that requires speed, balance and aerial prowess.

Like the moguls, ski cross is another event that often produces plenty of drama. With four athletes tackling a course full of obstacles such as jumps, rollers and berms, victory can come down to the tightest of margins. It is also the only event that doesn’t require any judging as speed is what counts.

The rest of the freeskiing program consists of the traditional moguls, aerials, halfpipe, slopestyle and big air. All of these are likely to produce some memorable moments as they require skiers to perform gravity-defying tricks. Athletes to watch out for include China’s Eileen Gu (who won three golds 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).
