Women ski jumpers still battle for equality

PYEONGCHANG: They were the Cinderella story of the Sochi Olympics, the women ski jumpers who were finally allowed to compete in the Games after a years-long struggle for equality. They had survived a court battle, proved their athletic prowess and knocked back suggestion that their reproductive organs might somehow be obliterated upon landing. And yet four years later, women ski jumpers are fighting for parity. While the women can compete only in the normal hill — the men get three: the normal hill, the large hill and team event.
