SLS Sydney Predictions: Ginwoo Onodera and Chloe Covell headline opening stop

SLS opens the 2026 Championship Tour at Ken Rosewall Arena on February 14–15. Sydney’s fast course and Knockout format reward reliable line construction and high-value single tricks. Men’s field skews young with heavy flip-in rail options. Women’s bracket features a tight Covell–Leal–Akama cluster where make rates could decide order. Local conditions and pressure minutes favor riders with recent SLS finals experience.
