Local and American women athletes and coaches played a pivotal role in breaking into international jumping competition. The Olympic Regional Development Authority has since committed to hosting simultaneous men’s and women’s World Cup Jumping competitions. Today, history will be made once again in Lake Placid. The Olympic Authority is dedicated to equality in sport and today we are brimming with pride as woman take flight for the first time at a World Cup ski jumping event ever held in the United States.
In addition, the Olympic Authority, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, and USA Ski Jumping are working together to support equitable pay to women athletes in ski jumping. This initiative underscores the organizations’ commitment to rewarding the incredible achievements of all athletes, regardless of gender. With the help of all our partners, we hope to achieve parity in prize money for women at this event.
You can support women’s ski jumping, too. We invite you to attend the Lake Placid Ski Jumping World Cup starting today through Sunday. You can also contribute to directly to the award of equal prize money. Learn more here:
