There are six disciplines in freestyle skiing: moguls (Olympic event), ballet, aerials (Olympic event), dual moguls, half-pipe and ski cross (Olympic event since 2010). Freestyle skiing is constantly evolving, these disciplines can already be outdated. 6, record 1, English, - freestyle%20skiing
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Some authors divide freestyle skiing in two periods: moguls, aerials and ballet being called the "old school" freestyle skiing, and dual moguls, half-pipe and ski cross being called "new school." In any case, these categories may change since freestyle skiing is in constant evolution. 6, record 1, English, - freestyle%20skiing

Il y a six disciplines de ski acrobatique : les bosses (épreuve olympique), le ballet ou acroski, les sauts (épreuve olympique), les bosses en parallèle, la demi-lune et le ski-cross (épreuve olympique depuis 2010). Le ski acrobatique est en constante évolution, il est donc possible que les disciplines ne soient déjà plus d'actualité. 4, record 1, French, - ski%20acrobatique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Certains auteurs divisent le ski acrobatique en deux époques: les bosses, les sauts et le ballet étant qualifiés de ski acrobatique «classique» et les bosses en parallèle, la demi-lune et le ski-cross étant qualifiés de ski acrobatique «nouveau style». Cette distinction dénote seulement l'évolution du ski acrobatique, il s'agit toujours du même sport avec plus de disciplines. 4, record 1, French, - ski%20acrobatique
