 Oympic Event - Freestyle skiing In a race, it does not matter how many people qualify, but each race is limited to four starters. Physical endurance and strength play a ski roll in ski athletes. Athletes may choose three out of four different lines they will ski down on the mogul course. After the start signal, they ski down a steep slope and over a series of off set large bumps (mogul) as high as 1.2 meters and spaced 3-4 meters apart. There are two sets of bumps, one near the top of the course and one near the bottom of the course where the skiers are required to perform 4 different jumps of there own choice. the ski cross course is designed to test skiers skills incorporate turns n a variety of type and sizes, flat sections and travers, as well as rolls, banks and riges similar to those found on a normal slope.
