Anthony Defends Title in Women’s Moguls at 2026 Winter Olympics: Schedule & Live Stream

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina will showcase an exciting event for freestyle skiing: the dual moguls competition. This marks the inaugural appearance of dual moguls at the Olympic level, alongside the traditional moguls event.

Jakara Anthony Aims to Defend Her Title

Australia’s Jakara Anthony, the defending Olympic champion in women’s moguls, is ready to reclaim her title after recovering from a collarbone injury that kept her sidelined during the 2024-25 season. Anthony has shown impressive form, winning three out of four moguls World Cup events leading up to the Winter Games. She currently leads the FIS overall moguls standings and boasts a remarkable career total of 26 World Cup victories.

Rivalry from Team USA

Meanwhile, Team USA’s Jaelin Kauf, who earned a silver medal at the Beijing 2022 Olympics, enters the Games with a stellar 2024-25 season behind her. Kauf made history by sweeping all three Crystal Globes and securing gold in dual moguls at the World Championships. She currently holds the top position in the FIS dual moguls standings after her victory at Val Saint-Côme, Canada.

• Tess Johnson, who earned silver at the World Championships in dual moguls, ranks second in the overall moguls standings.
• Olivia Giaccio, another teammate of Kauf, is positioned third in the same standings.

International Contenders

French skier Perrine Laffont, the Olympic champion from PyeongChang 2018 and the reigning world champion, is also a strong contender. Laffont aims to return to the Olympic podium in Italy, adding further depth to an already competitive field.
