=== Olympic Games ===
In 2006, the International Ski Federation proposed that women could compete at the [[2010 Winter Olympics]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/news/pressreleases/pressreleases2006/gacongressdecisions.html|title=FIS MEDIA INFO: Decisions of the 45th International Ski Congress in Vilamoura/Algarve|publisher=[[International Ski Federation]]|access-date=14 November 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130123053734/http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/news/pressreleases/pressreleases2006/gacongressdecisions.html|archive-date=23 January 2013}}</ref> but the proposal was rejected by the [[International Olympic Committee|IOC]] because of the low number of athletes and participating countries at the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/11/28/sports/ME_SPT_OLY_IOC_Meetings.php|title=IOC approves skicross; rejects women's ski jumping|publisher=iht.com|access-date=15 March 2009}}</ref>

A group of fifteen competitive female ski jumpers later filed a suit against the [[Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games]] on the grounds that it violated the [[Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms]] since men were competing.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/1109/p17s03-ussc.html|title=Why women can't ski jump in the Winter Olympics|newspaper=Christian Science Monitor|access-date=14 November 2014}}</ref> The suit failed, with the judge ruling that the situation was not governed by the charter.

The first Olympic champion was [[Carina Vogt]].<ref name="womenolympics">{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/winter-olympics/26057176|title=Sochi 2014: Carina Vogt wins women's ski jumping gold|author=Rob Hodgetts|work=[[BBC News]]|date=11 February 2014|access-date=14 March 2017}}</ref>
