Winter Olympic Predictions: Snowboard Halfpipe Men & Women

Winter Olympic Predictions: Snowboard Halfpipe Men & Women

Published Feb 09, 2026

The women’s field features strong repeatability at the top. Xuetong Cai’s amplitude control and clean landings keep her baseline above the field, with Mitsuki Ono’s progressive spin set and Chloe Kim’s peak run value close behind. Depth from Japan, China and the United States should compress ranks four through twelve.

The men’s event profiles as a high-ceiling shootout. Scotty James carries the best risk-adjusted scoring profile, with Yuto Totsuka and Ruka Hirano projecting narrowly behind on difficulty plus amplitude. Ayumu Hirano’s podium probability rises if he stabilizes first-run landings. Valentino Guseli’s amplitude premium keeps him inside the top five in most simulations.
