Has women's ski jumping ever been an Olympic sport?
Through the 2010 Games in Vancouver, women have never competed in ski jumping. They have petitioned the International Olympic Committee to add the sport since 1998 but have been denied every time. The IOC believes there are not enough female ski jumpers worldwide for the sport to qualify as an Olympic event.

Can men and women participate in all winter olympic sports?
At the 2010 Games in Vancouver, no. There is one sport that is for men only and that is ski jumping. The International Olympic Committee refused to schedule women's ski jumping at the 2010 Games. Their reasoning was that there was not enough interest and there are not enough countries with world class women ski jumpers. The IOC was taken to court over this in Canada but were not made to include women in ski jumping events as the presiding judge ruled that, while the exclusion of women was discriminatory, the Canadian courts have no control over the International Olympic Committee. Look for women's ski jumping to be included in the events at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.

Ski jumping of Olympic?
Yes , ski jumping is in Olympics, but not for women. It is the only event in the Olympics--summer or winter--that does not allow women. (The last event in the Olympic Summer Games to include women is boxing, which will be included in London 2012.) By 2014, the women will have had two World Championships and will have World Cup status. The hope is that the IOC will vote to allow the women into Sochi 2014 sometime in late 2010, which will finally make the Olympics gender equal, although men still have many more events than women in many sports. For example, in ski jumping, the men have three events--the K90, K120, and team event. If the women are voted in to Sochi 2014, they will only be approved for the K90.
Which event is the newest to the winter olympic?
Ski cross was added to the list of events at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. Women's ski jumping is likely to be added at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
