Vancouver, British Columbia -- A Canadian court has refused to order the Vancouver Organizing Committee to allow female ski jumpers to compete in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
A group of 14 woman skiers had sued, arguing the committee violated the Canadian Charter of Rights by scheduling ski-jumping events for men but not for women.
The British Columbia Court of Appeals turned them down Friday afternoon after two days of arguments on whether the committee is a government entity covered by the charter, The Vancouver Sun reported.
