1 USA FREESTYLE SKIING OLYMPIC HISTORY US Olympic History: Freestyle skiing, one of the so-called extreme sports, débuted as a medal sport in 1992 with moguls competition at Albertville, although it had been a demonstration sport at Calgary in 1988, with three events moguls, aeriels, and the no-longer contested ballet, or acroski. Since then the United States has dominated the sport at the Winter Olympics, winning the most medals and gold medals overall, the most medals and gold medals by men, and the most gold medals by women. The US has won medals in moguls and aeriels for men and women, but did not win any medals in skiier-cross, a relatively new event, at its début in Vancouver in 2010 in fact, there were no US women entered in that event in There will be two new events on the program at Sochi halfpipe and slopestyle.
