Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Women ski jumpers file claim in B.C. Supreme court
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

A group of 10 women ski jumpers are today filing a claim in British Columbia’s Supreme Court in an attempt to have their sport included in the 2010 Winter Olympics. The claim is against the Vancouver Olympic Games Organizing Committee (VANOC) and has been filed by female ski jumpers from Norway, Germany, Austria, Slovenia and the United States.
However, it is the International Olympics committee (IOC), not VANOC, that decides which sports will be included at the Olympics, so it is unclear what effect, if any, this claim will have....Source: http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5gQmt5sqpq8-PQfPK_N4QQTIoOHhQ

Background info:
Some Canadian women ski jumpers have argued they are being discriminated against because the IOC won't allow their sport at the Vancouver Olympics. The women took their case to the Canadian Human Rights Commission and they have the support of the federal government.

The IOC voted in 2006 not to allow women's ski jumping into the 2010 Games, saying the sport has not developed enough and that it didn't meet basic criteria for inclusion. The IOC has said its decision not to include women's ski jumping at the Vancouver Games is based on "technical merit" and isn't discriminatory.

In order to be considered for inclusion in an Olympic Games, a sport must have held at least two world championships. The first women's ski jumping world championships will be held next year in Liberec, Czech Republic.

As part of the legal action, the B.C. Supreme Court is being asked to issue an injunction banning men's ski jumping events at the 2010 Winter Olympics, if women ski jumpers are barred from competing at the Games.
