" You won&amp;#039;t see any women ski jumpers at the Winter Olympics. Why? It&amp;#039;s a boys club. But Lindsey Van, 25, a ski jumper from Utah, is out to change that. She and others began lobbying Olympic officials in 2006 to include women, to no avail. The reason: nebulous &amp;quot;technical merits.&amp;quot; Recently, the ski jumpers took the case to court in Vancouver (home to the 2010 Winter Games), with no luck again. But Van&amp;#039;s not giving up. At press time, she was planning an appeal. Indeed, women are allowed to punch each other in the face in Olympic boxing, so why can&amp;#039;t they jump off a hill?
