It has been reported widely that the Olympics will be adding women's ski jumping.
Len Berman says that "...women ski jumpers have been trying forever to get in. In fact, they weren't prevented from competing, they just would have had to do it against men. I covered ski jumping at the Salt Lake games. Most of the jumpers were little guys. It makes sense. It's easier to fly through the air if you're not fat. I equated it to 'jockeys on skis.' And what went unsaid: eating issues. Were ski jumpers starving themselves to stay thin? And will that be an even bigger issue with the women? Too much information?"
Any action that gives women more opportunity is so allllllright by moi.
