English

Subject field(s)
  • Skiing and Snowboarding
DEF

Acrobatic skiing that includes moguls, jumps and aerial maneuvers such as twists and somersaults.

OBS

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 Freestyle skiing is constantly evolving, these disciplines can already be outdated.

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ski et surf des neiges
DEF

Ski sur neige axé sur la pratique de figures, de prouesses et de chorégraphies.

OBS

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.

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.
