Winter Olympics: Which are the 15 sports at the Games and the key athletes to watch? - The Straits Times

Athletes in the aerials events – halfpipe, slopestyle and moguls – are scored by a panel of judges based on the complexity and skill involved in their tricks.

For big air, competitors are also judged by the height and distance of their jumps.

Ski cross is a timed event, where the first athlete to cross the finish line wins.

Events

• Aerials

• Big Air

• Halfpipe

• Ski Cross

• Slopestyle

Athletes to watch

With 13 events on offer, there are plenty of contenders, including David Wise (above, halfpipe) and Sarah Hoefflin (slopestyle), to look out for. However, Canada’s Mikael Kingsbury seems a sure bet as the reigning Olympic and world champion in the moguls has the most men’s moguls World Cup titles (nine), and has won the most medals at the Freestyle World Championships (11) of any male competitor.
