The men's slopestyle competition in snowboarding at the 2026 Winter Olympics was held on 15 February (qualification) and 18 February (final), at the Livigno Snow Park in Valtellina. Su Yiming of China became the Olympic champion, earning his first Olympic gold medal in this event after winning silver in 2022. Taiga Hasegawa of Japan won the silver medal, while Jake Canter of the United States claimed the bronze. For Hasegawa and Canter, these were their first Olympic medals.
Background The defending Olympic champion, Max Parrot, did not compete in the event. The 2022 silver medalist Su Yiming and the 2022 bronze medalist Mark McMorris both qualified for the event. Su was leading the 2025–26 FIS Snowboard World Cup standings in men's slopestyle during the 2025–26 season prior to the Olympics. The reigning 2025 World champion was Liam Brearley.
Summary In the final, Su Yiming took the lead with his opening run with a score of 82.41, a mark that held up through three runs to secure the gold medal on his 22nd birthday, giving China its first gold of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Taiga Hasegawa of Japan finished second with 82.13, while Jake Canter of the United States claimed bronze with 79.36; both earned their first Olympic medals. For Canter, this achievement came nine years after a medically-induced coma. Mark McMorris, who has three Olympic slopestyle bronze medals, finished eighth after crashing on two of his three runs.
