I remember that, about 20 years ago, a couple of ski jumping experts thought that women could very well compete with the men and would do well. It was because of some exceptionally talented girls. But after they hit puberty it became clear that this just wasn't the case. So the women have their own events now and it's becoming more popular, also because of the mixed team event.Good, the Olympic Movement is all about gender equality and such. Now, bring on the male rhythmic gymnastics and synchronised swimming, LOL (or drop these sports if not gender equal )
