Description

We report on the status of the precision measurements of electroweak parameters with W and Z bosons with the CMS detector. The effective electroweak mixing angle sin^{2}_{\theta} is extracted by measuring the forward-backward asymmetry in dilepton events near the Z boson mass region. Experimental and theoretical challenges needed for a high-precision W boson mass measurement are reported using a sample of Z->mumu events.
