WELL, DANG: No women’s ski jumping at Olympics. “Justice Lauri Ann Fenlon wrote that the 2006 International Olympic Committee decision against adding a women’s division was discriminatory, but it did not breach Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ gender equality guarantees. . . . Fenlon found that VANOC is subject to the Charter when it carries out the planning, organizing, financing and staging of the 2010 Games, but it is not government-controlled.”
My PJTV report on this lawsuit is here. Complete with video of spandex-clad women athletes.
UPDATE: More here. I agree with the suspicion that one problem the IOC has with this sport is that it’s one in which the women can surpass the men.
