Ski jumping is too dangerous for women
Did you know that the only Olympic winter sport in which women are not allowed to compete is ski jumping?
Check out this video below that shows women from around the globe participating in this sport that is supposedly “too dangerous” and “seems not to be appropriate for ladies from a medical point of view” according to Gian-Franco Casper, President of the FIS.
This post isn’t just news but a call to action. If you believe women should be able to compete in ski jumping, visit Let Women Ski Jump in 2010 and sign the online petition. I did!
I signed the petition “Let Women Ski Jump in 2010″. I’m asking you to sign this petition to help us reach our goal of 10,000 signatures. I care deeply about this cause, and I hope you will support our efforts.
