The men's Big Air final at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics saw Norwegian skier Tormod Frostad winning gold, marking Norway's second consecutive Olympic triumph in this event. Frostad showcased exceptional skill, achieving a combined score of 195.50 points, which included impressive jumps of 97.00 and 98.50 points. The competition was fierce, with three athletes surpassing the 190-point mark—a notable improvement from previous Olympics, where none of the competitors did so in 2022.

American skier Mac Forehand secured the silver medal with a close score of 193.25, while the bronze went to Austrian Matej Svancer, who scored 191.25 points. The performances were thrilling, culminating in a dramatic final round where the medalists executed spectacular jumps that captivated the audience. In contrast, Birk Ruud, who had won gold in the previous Beijing Olympics, struggled to carry his early momentum into the subsequent rounds, finishing with a total of 118.25 points, placing him eighth overall.

Ruud's disappointing finish raised questions about his ability to regain top form after his previous Olympic success. As spectators celebrated the rise of new talents like Frostad and Podmilsak, it also highlighted the ever-increasing competitiveness in freestyle skiing. The Big Air event continues to evolve, promising even more thrilling contests in future Olympic Games as athletes push their limits on this formidable platform.
