It’s hard to believe there’s been no women’s ski jump in the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) just approved the sport for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. The approval follows the two-time recommendation by the International Ski Federation. Before the 2014 Winter Olympics, three World Championships will have taken place.The current World Champion is Lindsey Van. She is among 43 athletes from 15 nations who competed in Oslo in the 2010 World Championships in February. The IOC had said it was waiting to see the outcome of that event before adding the sport to the next Olympic roster.
