Apparently the FIS is developing a mixed dual mogul event with an eye on including such event in the Olympics. That would actually be a pretty cool way to (finally) include dual moguls in the Olympics.

Ya, if they straight up copied the format of the mixed alpine team event it would be a very good event.

 

I’ve always been of the opinion that the duals format would work very well in a team event.

A team event seems the only way for the dual moguls to have any sort of added value. So, yes.
