What do you think the men's results looked like in the their first years at the Olympics---just go back 25 years and you can find 40 point spreads in the first 15 skiers--yes, that's those high flying men jumping that poorly by your standards---40 points--that's a lot. So, to compare women to men, after the men have been coming to the Olympics forever---not fair---but, you are the president, so you can see it anyway you want to. Then comparing woman's athletic abilities to the men----how could anyone with Dr. in front of their name fall into that trap! I think the women are starting to get under your skin and effected your ability to think and be rational. I guess you don't understand physiology or biomechanics and the differences between the 2 sexes and why we have the two different competitive calendars and programs for each sex---in every sport. I think the ladies have you by the short hairs and are squeezing real tight with aplomb, intelligence, and maturity that far out ways your demonstrations this past year. Even if you win---you have lost and have shown that you are what your are---a pompous ass.

It's their masculin glory being protected by the grey men at IOC. If they act like they are sexually intimidated by a bunch of girls...yes the IOC wise will help the lads out in return for some locker room priviledges. If the men with steel balls actually had balls, they'd stand behind the leadies in distress, and offered their starting rights back to the IOC if the girls were not to be allowed. No top-level men's competition. How's that for the IOC? Try to sell the TV right for a competition from the 140 jump where the "brave" manage about 90 metres. The male jumpers will need to man up. Which man who reads this would not be infuriated if any fit, athletic, daring lady were disallowed from joining the local XC club, based solely on gender? Man up!

The male jumpers will need to man up.

Man up!
