Although they should get rid of the no hitting rule. If I was a female hockey player I'd be insulted at the insinuation that women are too fragile to handle bodychecking.

There is more reason for women's ski jumping to be included... I am not sure how many dozens of countries are on the IOC, but including a sport that only 2 of them are competitive in seems odd... And the only reason it's included is because one of them is US and the other one is also a huge winter sports political power... If the two competitors in question were Hungary and Slovakia, not even a sniff...
