No.

The International Olympic Committee excluded women's ski jumping from the 2010 Games because they feel there are not enough countries and women competing at an international level to include the event.

The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympics was sued for gender discrimination and the case went all the way to the British Columbia Supreme Court. The Court ruled that since the International Olympic Committee was a non-Canadian entity, they had no jurisdiction over the matter although the Court did opine that the IOC was 'guilty' of discrimination.

List of the events women cannot participate in the Olympics?

At the previous two Olympics (2008 Summer Games in Beijing and 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver) there were three sports that women did not compete in .... boxing, ski jumping, and nordic combined. Women's boxing has been included in the 2012 Summer Games in London. The International Olympic Committee is scheduled to rule on including women's ski jumping to the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi in April, 2011. With 43 nations sending competitors to the recent world championships in Norway, it is almost a lock that women's ski jumping will debut in 2014. Nordic combined is a sport that combines ski jumping and cross country skiing. The clamor to add women's nordic combined to the Olympics has not been as strong as that of adding women's ski jumping. But, rest assured, as soon as women's ski jumping is added to the Olympics women's nordic combined won't be too far behind.


Why is ski jumping for men only?

Presuming the question means nordic jumping (women have competed at freestyle aerials for years - consider Australia's Jacqui Cooper): the FIS (international ski federation) has expressed the opinion that nordic jumping is too dangerous for women. Female jumpers tried to challenge this view before the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, with no success.

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.
