Comments :

they really should be focusing their energy on FIS, not the IOC. Don't blame the IOC for the shortcomings of your international federation. The video claims that the sport is more developed than others on the program, but the IOC judges the development of a sport on their world championships, and if you don't have one, you're not a developed sport.

I don't see what is the point in such obstructionism? If girls/women compete in all other ski diciplines, why exclude jumping?

Why exclude women's Ski Jumping? Because there hasn't yet been a World Championship, or even a World Cup. I mean, the highest level of competition for women ski jumpers was the continental cup (the continental cup is to the world cup what the MLB is to AA Baseball). How can you possibly include a sport to the Olympics if there hasn't even been a single World Cup event yet? Anyway, expect women's jumping at the 2014 winter games. Not earlier, not later. There time will be 2014.

It's "their" time, not "there" time.

And where I can sign the petition?

sign the petition to help the women's team

speaking of technical 105 M

Well done let the women jump current record holder on the new 2010 olympic hill is Lynsey Van 105.5 meters. But the IOC says that the sport does not have the technical merit

im a ski jumper and this is an interesting video. thanks for helping get the word out,

Women's Ski Jumping wasn't included in the Vancouver 2010 becose by 2010, Women's Ski Jumping will have only be included once in the World Championships (2009). Its simply the fault of FIS.
