Olympic Quota Allocation List

Quota places per NOCs with athletes that are eligible will be allocated according to the above number of participants per event defined in B.1, using the Olympic Quota Allocation List. The Olympic Quota Allocation List is a ranking list per event per gender that is calculated by adding athletes' accumulated FIS World Cup points from 1 July 2024 to 18 January 2026 and athletes' ranking points in the FIS Freestyle Ski and Freeski World Championships 2025. The calculation of the Olympic Quota allocation List is the same as for the World Cup.

In the case of Freeski Big Air/Slopestyle, only the athletes' best four (4) Freeski Big Air and the athlete's best six (6) Freeski Slopestyle World Cup results will be used for calculation, in addition to the athlete's ranking points obtained in the Big Air and/or Slopestyle events at the FIS Freestyle Ski World Championships 2025.

The allocation will be made by allocating one (1) quota place per athlete, including the host country quota, from the top of the Olympic Quota Allocation List downwards until the maximum total quotas per event in Aerials, Ski Cross, Moguls, Freeski Halfpipe, Freeski Slopestyle/Freeski Big Air* per gender is reached.

Once an NOC has obtained the maximum number of four (4) places in the respective event, its remaining athletes will no longer be counted, and the next eligible NOC on the Olympic Quota Allocation List will be allocated a place.

If there is a tie for the final allocated quota place(s) on either the male or female Olympic Quota Allocation Lists, the athlete with the better rank on the FIS points list published on 19 January 2026 will be ranked ahead. If there is still a tie, the athletes will be ranked according to the number of 1st places, 2nd places, 3rd places, etc. achievied in the World Cup events during the Olympic qualification period (1 July 2024 – 18 January 2026) and FIS World Championships 2025 in the respective event.

In case an NOC is allocated quotas in the individual events that total more than the maximum of 30 athletes, it is up to the NOC to select a maximum of 30 (maximum 16 per gender) athletes across the various events on 19-20 January 2026 when NOCs confirm the use of allocated quota places to FIS (see Section G. Qualification Timeline). The NOC is entitled to the maximum quota of 32 athletes (maximum 16 per gender) if they are qualified with at least three (3) athletes in Aerials and are eligible to form a team to participate in the Mixed Team Aerials (refer to Section D.2). The returned quota places in the respective events will then be reallocated according to Section F. Reallocation of Unused Quota Places.
