Olympics Freestyle Skiing Highlights & Results
The 2022 winter Olympics freestyle skiing competition will be separated into four categories: ski-cross (racewalking), halfpipe, ski slopestyle, and aerials. The Ski-cross event involves four racers starting simultaneously with each racer on their track. The idea is to be the first to cross the line after completing all of your obstacles.
Freestyle Skiing Rules- Terms
In freestyle skiing, there is a list of rules and regulations that come along with the sport. Some of these include:
- If a skier touches anything other than the ground with either end of their body at any time during their run, then that run will be disqualified. The skier cannot use assistance from other people or objects and must perform the tricks themselves; if outside sources assist anything, it will be disqualified.
- If a skier fails to land their trick safely and properly without touching any part of their body other than their ski poles to the ground, that run will also be disqualified.
- If a skier does not complete all of their tricks during their run, that run will not be counted.
- A skier may only perform one jump per part of the course that they land on.
- Any falls or crashes where a skier makes contact with the ground will result in an automatic loss.
