Why is it fair for women not to do ski jumping?

It's not fair. Women's ski jumping is relatively new, having had international competitions since 2004. The International Olympic Committee decided not to allow women's ski jumping competition at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver because they felt there weren't enough countries and women competing at a 'world class' level. This decision was disappointing and met with anger and outrage, even some lawsuits in Canadian courts calling for women's ski jumping to be included in the Olympics. The Canadian courts had to rule against these lawsuits because they do not have any control over the International Olympic Committee who is the final say of what events are held in the Olympics. But the IOC heard the complaints and, I believe, will see to it that women's ski jumping is included in the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
