Background
editThe 2022 champion, Jakara Anthony, qualified for the event, as did the silver medalist Jaelin Kauf. The bronze medalist, Anastasia Smirnova, was barred from international competitions after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There were four events in 2025–26 FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup in moguls before the Olympics; Anthony won three of them and was leading the mogul standings, and Tess Johnson won another event. Perrine Laffont, the 2018 Olympic champion in moguls, was also the 2025 World champion.
The Italian skier Manuela Passaretta, who had already sustained an injury in the 2025–26 FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup opening race in Ruka, Finland[4] suffered a bone contusion to her tibia during training in Livigno, which forced her to withdraw from the race.[5]
