Winter Olympics: Female skiers' bid fails

Femal ski jumpers set their sights on 2014 after yesterday losing their final bid to compete at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

The women contend that Vancouver organisers are breaking Canada's Charter of Rights by hosting only men's ski jumping.

The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear an appeal.

The IOC voted not to include women's ski jumping at the 2010 Winter Olympics because the sport did not meet the necessary criteria for inclusion.
