This is a really long video(Well almost 11 minutes). But basically the IOC says that Women Ski Jumpers can't compete in the Olympics. Nevermind that a woman holds the record for the longest jump on Whistler mountain.Any thoughts on this?

Yeah...my thoughts are what difference would being a woman make when it comes to handling skis and jumps? This is just ludicrous.

Women have more weight in the rear and are more aerodynamic. It's an unfair advantage.

Yes, as illustrated by this picture, women are clearly more aerodynamic than men.

Note the swept wings which allow for supersonic speeds to be obtained. Clearly an unfair advantage.

That's where they got the delta design of the Space Shuttle wasn't it? The left side of rest facility.

Well, break the men and women apart then. This is what happens once you start saying 'X is an unfair advantage, so we will make a special group for those without X' (such as being male).

Every time its on the ballot, voters reject men competing in synchronized swimming by substantial margins.
