When Salt Lake City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, Deer Valley was at the heart of the action - and in 2034 it will once again take centre stage as the venue for freestyle moguls and aerials. Today, guests at The St. Regis Deer Valley can connect directly to that Olympic legacy through an exclusive partnership with the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation.

Olympic winter sports must be played on snow and ice, according to the Olympic Charter. But could a muddy field of play get its chance at a future Winter Games, even as soon as in the French Alps in 2030 or Salt Lake City in 2034? How about parquet in an indoor hall? Snow volleyball is ready and waiting. Those and other sports

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.

At the Olympics, the format sees the top 10 athletes advance straight to the final, while the remaining 20 athletes have another chance to qualify in the second qualification round. The course at Livigno, Italy, saw a packed crowd turn out to cheer on the 60 mogul athletes representing their respective countries. Americans and Australians were out in great numbers-not surprising considering the countries are have sent 15 athletes or 25% of the field between the two nations to the moguls competition.

We begin our coverage with the downhill aspect of the women's team combined, a new event that those who enjoyed it yesterday know is a terrific addition; the slalom section comes later in the day. In the meantime, we've got the men's slopestyle final in the freeski, USA's Alex Hall hoping to retain his title; his mum is from nearby Bologna, so he'll have family watching, presumably a far scarier proposition than twizzling upside down a million miles in the air.
