Why do they officially call it women's hockey, women's curling, women's biathalon, women's bobsleigh, women's skeleton, and women's luge, but call other events ladies' speedskating, ladies' figure skating, ladies' alpine skiing, ladies' snowboard, ladies' cross country skiing etc. Is any sport that involves extra equipment (sleds, guns, sticks, rocks) deemed to be less lady-like and more womanly?
