So we're into the first of our Olympic Specials, and the first contest we're looking back at is the Mens Big Air from Milano Cortina 2026. An absolutely insane final to kick off the Games, which certainly wasn't boring.

From the wonder-story of Valentino Guseli's last-minute entry, to a full review of the podium runs and details on why our medal-winners earned those medals. Get the full behind-the-scenes breakdown of how the Olympic Mens Big Air panned out during those early stages of the Games, and the gigantic scaffold-hybrid jump that was an iconic part of the Livigno Landscape.

Recorded in Livigno, in a rare calm moment in the midst of the storm.
