Womens SKi Jumping Out of 2010 Games

FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2008 - Day 2

Excluding womens ski jumping from the 2010 Vancouver Games has nothing to do with gender, according to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The Olympic governing body ruled in 2006 to omit the sport from the Vancouver Games because there are so few participants worldwide to represent the sport. Not so says a group of female ski jumpers. They have filed a discrimination suit in the Canadian courts. They will get their day before a judge on April 20.
