'die Pflicht' and 'der Freestyle' are opposites especially in sports or performances. 'die Pflicht' means a compulsory program or required part in which certain elements have to be performed. 'der Freestyle', on the other hand, means a free part in which individual style and improvisation are more important. In short: 'die Pflicht' is about fixed requirements, while 'der Freestyle' is about freedom in how something is performed.
