Four years later, at the Albertville Games, the moguls discipline was included as a full-medal sport and the French went wild as their own Edgar Grospiron became Olympic Champion. Aerials joined moguls as a full Olympic sport at the 1994 Lillehammer Games. Since the BSSF introduced Freestyle in 1982 the British Team have brought home an astonishing 300 World Cup top 10 results and over 50 World Cup Medals including 8 gold medals. The mogul skiers hammer down a steep, heavily bumped course in under thirty seconds managing to throw two spectacular upright jumps on the way. A second event of Dual Moguls has the skiers racing head to head a few meters apart.
Spectators are certain to witness a huge crash.
The aerialists jump off towering snow kickers to perform the most technically advanced somersault combinations in any sport at heights of forty feet above the ground. Not for the fain hearted. This event appeals to the more creative athlete with a flare for performance and gymnastics. We have a great season ahead with the World Cup circuit taking place as usual each week from December to March. A mixture of established British Team members and talented newcomers form the British Team for 2000 and are eagerly waiting to make their mark on the international scene.
