This event group covers prediction markets for the Men's Ski Halfpipe gold medal at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics. Both Kalshi and Polymarket offer markets on whether specific athletes will win the gold medal, with Kalshi listing 25 named competitors and Polymarket offering individual markets plus placeholders for unnamed athletes.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Kalshi and Polymarket use identical resolution logic: official IOC gold medal award for Men's Ski Halfpipe at 2026 Milano-Cortina, with consistent handling of cancellations, disqualifications, and timing cutoffs.
Primary resolution logic:
International Olympic Committee official results (olympics.com) as announced at the medal ceremony
Core resolution logic:
Market resolves Yes if and only if the named athlete is awarded the gold medal in Men's Ski Halfpipe at 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics
Market resolves No if any other athlete wins the gold medal or if the named athlete is eliminated, disqualified, or unable to compete per IOC rules
Subsequent disqualifications or amendments after medal ceremony are not considered; resolution is final at ceremony time
If multiple athletes are awarded gold (tie), Polymarket resolves in favor of the alphabetically first name; Kalshi treats each as a separate Yes resolution
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Event Cancellation or Postponement: If the Men's Ski Halfpipe event is canceled or postponed beyond March 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET, Polymarket resolves to Other; Kalshi resolves to No
No Gold Medal Declared: If no gold medal is declared within the timeframe (e.g., event abandoned mid-competition), Polymarket resolves to Other; Kalshi resolves to No
Athlete Disqualification Before Event: If a named athlete is eliminated or disqualified before competing (per IOC rules), the corresponding market resolves No
Placeholder Resolution (Polymarket): Polymarket uses numbered placeholders for 10 unnamed athletes; these resolve Yes only if the corresponding unnamed athlete wins gold, or No if any named or other athlete wins
Timing:
Resolution occurs at the time of the official medal ceremony for Men's Ski Halfpipe at 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, with a hard deadline of March 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET for all outcomes to be declared
