H2 — What to know: moguls and dual moguls at Milano Cortina 2026
Milano Cortina 2026 will stage two men’s freestyle skiing medal events: traditional moguls and the Olympic debut of dual moguls. The addition of head-to-head dual moguls gives competitors a second shot at a podium and adds a faster, knockout-style drama to the program.
H3 — Who’s favoured to win
Canada’s Mikaël Kingsbury returns to his fourth Olympic Games as the most decorated mogul skier in history. Fresh off his 100th World Cup win and carrying the dual moguls world champion title, Kingsbury arrives as the clear favourite for gold and a chance to expand his Olympic medal haul after winning PyeongChang 2018.
Japan’s Ikuma Horishima — Beijing 2022 bronze medallist and the current World Cup points leader — looks like Kingsbury’s chief rival after a season that includes two World Cup victories and four podiums. Australia’s Matt Graham, the 2022 silver medallist, also figures among the front-runners thanks to consistent results this season.
Other names to watch include Team USA’s rising star Nick Page, who sits near the top of the season standings, and Canada’s Julien Viel, who has enjoyed a breakout campaign and could challenge for a podium spot.

H4 — Why dual moguls matters
Dual moguls shifts the format from solo judged runs to direct elimination matchups. Skiers race side-by-side on identical courses, and winners advance through rounds until a big final decides the Olympic medals — a change that promises more head-to-head excitement for fans.
