[[File:Deer Valley Olympic venue.jpg|thumb|Olympic Aerials Venue at Deer Valley Resort at the 2002 Olympic Games.]]
Four '''[[freestyle skiing]]''' events were held at the '''[[2002 Winter Olympics]]''' in [[Salt Lake City]], at the venue in [[Deer Valley]].  There were both men's and women's competition in both ''aerials'' and ''moguls'' events.  In [[mogul (skiing)|moguls]], the athletes ski down a slope littered with moguls (bumps), attempting to get down in as fast a time as possible while also attempting to get points for technique and their two aerial jumps during the course.  The aerials events consisted of two jumps, which were judged by air, form and landing.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.olympedia.org/games/47/sports/FRS |title=Freestyle Skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics |publisher=Olympedia |access-date=9 July 2020 }}{{Dead link|date=April 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
