ABSTRACT
Recently women’s ski jumping has attracted public attention because a group of female jumpers went to court to fight the IOC decision to exclude them from the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. After almost nine months in court the jumpers lost their case, and maybe their story will disappear into nowhere again. 1 Especially before the Olympics it was a worthwhile story for the media to report about. Thus not only the existence of women’s ski jumping but also this case of gender discrimination was spread all over the world. For many people not involved in ski sports it was the first time they heard about women’s ski jumping.
