There is the whole question as to whether women should be even allowed to compete. The Godly Russki men's ski jumping coach
doesn't believe they should:
Quote:
Russian men’s ski jumping coach Alexander Arefyevsaid he’s not an advocate of women’s ski jumping, citing the sport’s injury risks and saying women’s purpose is to have children and do housework.
Arefyev was asked what he thought about women’s ski jumpers making the Olympics. They are set to debut in Sochi after a decade-long fight to join men in Olympic competition.
“I admit, I do not advocate women’s ski jumping,” he said in Russian. “It is quite heavy and traumatic sport. If a man were seriously injured, it is not fatal, but for all women may end up far worse. If I had a daughter, never would give in jumping — it’s too hard work. Women have a different purpose — to have children, do housework, to create a family home.”
