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 ››

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 ››
