Winter Olympics 2026: XC - Men's 10km Interval Start Free

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Market resolves YES if the named athlete is awarded the gold medal in Men's 10km Interval Start Free at 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics
• Resolution is determined at the time of the official medal/podium ceremony
• Subsequent disqualifications, appeals, or amendments after the ceremony are not considered for resolution purposes
• Each athlete has an individual binary market; exactly one athlete will win gold
• If multiple athletes are awarded gold (tie), Polymarket specifies alphabetical ordering of names as tiebreaker

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Event Postponement or Cancellation: If the event is postponed after March 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET or canceled entirely, Polymarket markets resolve to OTHER; Kalshi markets resolve to NO. Both platforms treat this as a non-resolution scenario.
• No Gold Medal Declared: If no gold medal is declared by March 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET, Polymarket resolves to OTHER; Kalshi resolves to NO.
• Athlete Elimination or Disqualification Before Event: If a listed athlete becomes ineligible per IOC rules before the race (e.g., injury, doping ban), Polymarket resolves that market to NO. Kalshi does not explicitly address pre-event elimination but implies NO resolution.
• Post-Ceremony Disqualification: Both platforms explicitly state that disqualifications or amendments occurring after the medal ceremony are not considered. The athlete who received gold at the ceremony is the resolution winner regardless of later actions.
• Placeholder Markets on Polymarket: Polymarket includes 11 placeholder markets (Placeholder 1-15 excluding some numbers) with no named athlete. These will resolve based on whether an unlisted athlete wins gold; resolution depends on Polymarket's handling of unspecified winners.
