Ski Jumping Central: Junior Olympics News & Info The Canadian skiers are from Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta, the site of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games. Women's ski jumping is currently not a sanctioned event in the Olympic Winter Games, although many hope that it will be in the future. Skiers try for a good finish in the ski jumping portion, as their start on the cross-country course is determined by their finish on the jumps; that is, the top jumper gets the first position of the cross-country event, and each skier thereafter receives time penalties based on their position behind the top jumper. www.skijumpingcentral.com /jr-olymp.htm   (5265 words)
