Freestyle Skiing

There are three Freestlye Skiing events at the Winter Olympics: Aerials, Moguls and Ski Cross. Ski Cross is a new event added to the program for the 2010 Games.

In the Aerials competition, points are awarded for air, form and landing. Landing accounts for 30% of the score, so it is very important for the competitors to have a good landing.

Trivia

• Six freestyle skiing events will be held at Vancouver 2010, male and female events of each of the three disciplines.

• Ski Cross (also known as skiercross or skier-X) is a relatively new type of skiing competition, based on the Motorbike discipline of Moto Cross.
