Winter Olympics: Freestyle Skiing Betting Preview

06/02/2026|SB Staff|Olympics Tips & Predictions
<p>Freestyle skiing features 15 medal events, including moguls, aerials, dual moguls, ski cross, and freeski disciplines like slopestyle, halfpipe, big air, plus mixed team aerials.</p> <p>With so many events on offer, it provides us with the potential to find some betting value at this year’s <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/olympics/winter-olympics-2026">Milano Cortina 2026</a> Winter Olympics. You can bet on the Games with us in confidence, as we provide odds across all events, including the freestyle skiing discipline.</p> <p>Freestyle skiing events take place throughout the Games, with the first on February 7 and the final on February 21, at venues like Livigno Snow Park and Aerials &amp; Moguls Park.</p> <p>Key dates (local time) to consider include:</p> <ul> <li>Feb 7-10 for the Freeski slopestyle (men/women) finals&nbsp;</li> <li>Feb 10-14 for the Moguls &amp; dual moguls (men/women) finals&nbsp;</li> <li>Feb 14-17 for the Freeski big air (men/women) finals&nbsp;</li> <li>Feb 17-21 for the Aerials (men/women/mixed team) &amp; ski cross finals&nbsp;</li> <li>Feb 19-21 for the Freeski halfpipe (men/women) finals</li> </ul> <h2>Milano - Cortina Olympic Freestyle Skiing Betting Preview</h2> <p>Freestyle skiing events offer several betting angles for value.</p> <p>In Moguls/Dual Moguls, air and turns score up to 30 points, with duals pitting athletes head-to-head. The top 20 qualify based on speeds, so consistent World Cup performers hold value.</p> <p>Aerials use a formula: Air (20%), Form (50%), and Landing (30%) from five judges, multiplied by Degree of Difficulty. The best jump counts, creating edges for wind-resilient underdogs.</p> <p>Ski cross features four-per-heat elimination races lasting 45-60 seconds amid jumps and turns. Historically, 40-50% of favourites crash; inside gates post-seeding win 60%+ of events, favouring live props.</p> <p>Freeski (Slopestyle/Halfpipe/Big Air) relies on subjective judging for difficulty, amplitude, execution, and style at Livigno. Risk-takers can provide bettors with additional value over favourites.</p> <h2>Milano - Cortina Olympic Freestyle Skiing Betting Predictions</h2> <p>We’ve highlighted who we believe are the most likely to win each event, believing that there is betting value on offer in these picks:</p> <ul> <li>Men's Moguls: Mikael Kingsbury (CAN) - 100th WC win, 6x Olympic medalist, Globe leader</li> <li>Women's Moguls: Jakara Anthony (AUS) - Olympic champ, 26 WC wins, unbeaten streak</li> <li>Men's Dual: Ikuma Horishima (JPN) - Defending medal, head-to-head specialist</li> <li>Women's Dual: Jaelin Kauf (USA) - WC titles, consistent bracket climber</li> <li>Men's Aerials: Sun Jiaxu (CHN) - WC podiums, height/form edge</li> <li>Women's Aerials: Xu Mengtao (CHN) - Olympic gold, extremely technical</li> <li>Mixed Team: China - Recent sweeps, strong synchronisation</li> <li>Men's Ski Cross: Reece Howden (CAN) - 3x Globe, crash-resistant leader</li> <li>Women's Ski Cross: Simone Deromedis (ITA) - Home track, WC top-3 speed</li> <li>Men's Freeski Slopestyle: Alex Hall (USA) - WC #1 2025, versatile course fit</li> <li>Women's Freeski Slopestyle: Eileen Gu (CHN) - 20 WC wins, multi-podium threat</li> <li>Men's Freeski Big Air: Miro Tabanelli (ITA) - First 2340 lander, X Games gold</li> <li>Women's Freeski Big Air: Flora Tabanelli (ITA) - Worlds champ, home advantage</li> <li>Men's Freeski Halfpipe: Alex Ferreira (USA) - 7/7 WC wins 2025, amplitude king​</li> <li>Women's Freeski Halfpipe: Eileen Gu (CHN) - Defending gold, record spins</li> </ul>
