"On June 24 2022 the International Olympic Committee 'IOC' announced the addition of two new disciplines to the Winter Olympics. These disciplines are dual moguls and women's large hill ski jumping. The addition of women's large hill jumping leaves Nordic Combined as the last men-only Winter Olympic event. Today we'll take a closer look at dual moguls, which will premier at the ski resort of Livigno, Italy, at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics for both men and women."
"Competitors ski a roughly 770ft (235m) course of about 28° with two jumps in under 30 seconds. This makes moguls easy to watch both on television as well as live. Unlike some Alpine events which are harder to follow for a live audience due to the length of the course. Further, the sheer speed and skill of the mogul skiers combined with some amazing airs, make it a fast-paced crowd pleaser."
On June 24 2022 the IOC added dual moguls and women's large hill ski jumping to the Winter Olympics. The addition of women's large hill leaving Nordic Combined as the last men-only Winter Olympic event. Dual moguls will premiere at Livigno, Italy at Milano-Cortina 2026 for both men and women. Single moguls was a demonstration event in 1988 Calgary and became an official discipline in 1992 Albertville. Moguls is a judged event on a roughly 770 ft (235 m), ~28° course with two jumps completed in under 30 seconds. Olympic moguls use seven judges: five turn judges and two air judges. Time is scored against a pace time. Turns are evaluated for carving technique, body position, absorption, and extensions with deductions for errors; a perfect turns score is 60. Air is judged on execution by form, amplitude, and fluidity and carries a relatively small portion of the overall score.
