Dual moguls will make its Olympic debut on Saturday as 30 women take to the slopes of Livigno Aerials & Moguls Park in Livigno, Italy. 

In Olympic dual moguls, athletes face each other head-to-head on parallel courses in a bracket-style competition. Like moguls, both athletes on course judged on their form, air, and time. 

"I think it's going to bring a lot more eyes to the sport, which is great because I think our sport is one of the coolest," Lemley said. "[I'm] super excited to have another chance at getting more medals."

The Americans are set to sweep the event if this season's only World Cup dual moguls event is any indication. Kauf won the event in Val St. Come, Canada, with teammates Liz Lemley and Tess Johnson following her to the podium in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Olivia Giaccio (USA) finished 4th. It was a dominant showing from one of the best moguls teams in the world.

If one event isn't enough to make Kauf the favorite headed into Saturday's event, then last season's seven should be more than enough. Kauf finished at the top of the FIS World Cup rankings in dual moguls, winning five of seven dual moguls events and a Crystal Globe. She also won the world championships after disappointment in the moguls competition.

"Duals is such a great event and such a great spectator event," Jaelin Kauf (USA) said. "There's just a different energy to competing, to being in the crowd, just all around. It's really exciting to be a part of it on the Olympic stage now."

Australia's Jakara Anthony will be looking for redemption on Saturday after a disappointing stumble in the women's moguls final left her in 8th. Anthony is best known for her dominance in moguls, but she's not too shabby in dual moguls either. A collarbone injury left her out of competition for a majority of the 2024-25 season, but she was dominant in the 2023-24 season, winning all but one World Cup event in dual moguls.

"I'm pretty stoked I've got another event to look forward to, so there's still one more chance to medal," Anthony said.

Of course, Kauf, Lemley, Johnson, and Giaccio stand in her way. Lemley, who is bested Anthony for her first Olympic gold in the moguls event, will attempt to claim a second Olympic medal at these games while Johnson and Giaccio, who fell short of the podium in moguls, will try for their first.

Perrine Laffont (FRA), bronze medalist in moguls at these Games, is another top contender in this event. The Frenchwoman finished behind Kauf in the FIS World Cup rankings in dual moguls in the 2024-25 season after consistent podium finishes.

Awarded FIS Rookie of the Year in 2025, Charlotte Wilson (AUS) is hoping to join Anthony in preventing an American sweep in favor of an Aussie one. Wilson finished 6th in moguls at these Games but has one dual moguls win at the World Cup stage.
