This event group covers prediction markets for the Men's Snowboard Slopestyle gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina. Both Kalshi and Polymarket offer markets on whether specific named athletes will win the gold medal, with Polymarket also including placeholder entries for unlisted competitors and a catch-all 'someone else' option.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both platforms use the same primary source (IOC/Olympics.com official medal records) and resolve on the same event outcome (gold medal award at medal ceremony), with only minor procedural differences in handling edge cases that do not materially affect resolution.
Primary resolution logic:
International Olympic Committee (IOC) official records and https://www.olympics.com/ medal ceremony results
Core resolution logic:
Resolution is determined by the athlete officially awarded the gold medal in Men's Snowboard Slopestyle at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics
Resolution occurs at the time of the medal ceremony for the event
Kalshi resolves 'Yes' if any of the 31 named athletes wins gold; resolves 'No' if none of them win
Polymarket offers individual binary markets for named athletes, placeholder entries, and a 'someone else' catch-all option
Subsequent disqualifications, amendments, or appeals after the medal ceremony are not considered for resolution purposes
If an athlete becomes ineligible per IOC rules before the event, their market resolves 'No'
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Event Postponement or Cancellation: If the Men's Snowboard Slopestyle event is postponed after March 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET or canceled entirely, Polymarket resolves to 'Other'. Kalshi's resolution mechanism is not explicitly addressed for this scenario; assume no resolution or 'No' outcome if event does not occur by deadline.
Multiple Gold Medalists: If multiple athletes are awarded gold (e.g., tie), Polymarket resolves in favor of the participant whose listed name comes first alphabetically. Kalshi's binary structure would resolve 'Yes' for whichever named athlete appears first in the list if multiple are awarded.
Athlete Disqualification Before Event: If a listed athlete is eliminated or becomes ineligible per IOC rules prior to competition, their corresponding market resolves 'No'.
Placeholder Resolution: Polymarket includes 15 placeholder entries (Placeholder 3–15) and a 'someone else' option. These resolve 'Yes' only if an unlisted athlete wins gold; they resolve 'No' if any named athlete wins.
No Gold Medal Declared: If no gold medal is declared within the deadline (March 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET), Polymarket resolves to 'Other'. Kalshi does not explicitly address this scenario.
Timing:
Resolution occurs at the time of the official medal ceremony for Men's Snowboard Slopestyle at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics. If the event is postponed beyond March 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET or canceled, Polymarket resolves to 'Other' at that deadline. Kalshi does not specify a hard deadline but implies resolution upon event completion or declaration of gold medal winner.
