Report: No discipline for Kings' Brown
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 21 (UPI) -- The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Winter Olympics is being sued by a group of female ski jumpers, The Vancouver Province said Wednesday.
The newspaper said an unidentified former champion Canadian ski jumper, women from Europe and the United States are named in the suit, which was filed over the decision to exclude the event from the Winter Games in two years.
The suit alleges the exclusion of women's ski jumping from the 2010 Olympics is a violation of the women's rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the report said.
Deedee Corradini, president of Women's Ski Jumping USA and the former mayor of Salt Lake City, was scheduled to be in Vancouver Thursday for a news conference to support the suit, the Province said.
