Female ski jumpers hit out after being banned from Olympic event over ‘baggy clothes’: ‘Why only girls?’

Five female ski jumpers, representing Austria, Japan, Norway, and Germany, were disqualified from the mixed team event at the Beijing Winter Olympics because their outfits were considered too baggy, supposedly giving them more airtime.

The suits used by the jumpers who were banned from the event had been approved for other competitions.

“The [International Ski Federation] destroyed everything with this operation. I think they have destroyed women’s ski jumping,” Germany’s Katharina Althaus said, according to yahoo!sports. “I have been checked so many times in 11 years of ski jumping, and I have never been disqualified once. I know my suit was compliant.”
