The controversy that occurred recently over whether there should be a womans division of olympic skiing this year in the winter olympics was unfair. Sure there was not a big enough turn out in competition of this event, but there should have been more effort made towards this event. I have watched the winter olympics since I was little and now that I am older I've realized how demanding the ski jump event is. However, there should be no discussion of a seperate division from the mens event. The thought of there being two seperate events for something so similar is pointless There is no reason why women should not be able to compete in this event side by side with men. For a sport that mainly consists of sliding and falling in a controlled fashion it should not matter what gender you are in order to compete together. Although it is not noted, there are events in the olympics that do not allow men to compete in but is more of a non-publicized subject. Women should be allowed to compete with men in this event because they need to have an equal opportunity to compete; not based on gender. If the IOC's decision would have been turned to favor women and men competing in this event together then the women would have been able to compete this year in this event.
