The men will hit the mogul hill looking for gold starting at 8:10 a.m. Mogul skiing is judged on style and skill as well as speed. Skiers use the bumps to make sharp turns while keeping to a fall line. Watch for flips, grabs or rotations in their two jumps off the “air bumps” on the slope. Current world No. 1, Canada’s Mikael Kingsbury, finished first in qualifiers. American Troy Murphy is in the medal hunt, coming in fourth in qualifying.
