Women Ski Jumping
The International Olympic Committee can be a baffling
organization.At their recent meeting in Kuwait,
they voted to allow Olympics competition in an obscure
new sport called ski cross, while denying deserving
women the opportunity of competing in the traditional
winter sport of ski jumping. Never mind few have
ever heard of ski cross, while scores of talented
women across the world compete regularly in internationally
sanctioned ski jumping events! More

Still waiting for winter in Europe
With the winter still taking its time to settle

World Cup calendars while others are progressing
right on schedule. There is good snow in La Clusaz

World Cup Cross-Country events scheduled for this
weekend. There is also plenty of snow in Engelberg
where the e.on ruhrgas FIS World Cup Ski Jumping

FIS World Cup Nordic Combined races in Ramsau (AUT)

Women skiers are underrated
The International Olympic Committee's vote to deny
women the right to leap off ski jumps in the 2010
Olympics was, to me, one of those surprising but
not unexpected decisions. It seemed like the right
thing to do, so why should we be surprised at the
IOC doing the wrong thing? It's happened before.
There are, after all, only two events in the Olympics
— ski jumping and nordic combined — without a division
for women. So why go with something so traditional
in winter sports as ski jumping and go with something
with a real history like skicross? More
