OSLO - Norwegian world champion in Nordic combined, Gyda Westvold Hansen, has switched to ski jumping in pursuit of a place at the upcoming Olympics.
Nordic combined remains the only Winter Olympic discipline closed to women, despite the sport now featuring a World Cup circuit and world championships, where Westvold Hansen has claimed five golds across the last three editions, with two of them at the recent edition in March.
At the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics in February, only men will compete in the sport that brings together ski jumping and cross-country, with Westvold Hansen having previously protested the International Olympic Committee's decision not to include a women's event.
"I'm taking the only chance I have to get to the Olympics this winter, and that is to focus on ski jumping," she told Norwegian media.
