Since she started ski jumping at the age of seven, Lindsey Van dreamt of winning an Olympic medal. By the time the Olympics came to her home country of Canada in 2010, she had already won countless competitions, including 13 national championships, and was setting records that beat even the men’s. When the IOC refused to recognise women’s ski jumping as an Olympic sport, Lindsey and her teammates decided to sue the organizers of the Vancouver Olympics to force them to include female ski jumping on the basis of gender equality.
