CNN News:冬奥会添加女子跳台滑雪项目

Time for the "Shoutout." Which of these Winter Olympic events is oldest? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it - Alpine skiing, luge, ski jumping or snowboarding? You`ve got three seconds, go!

又到了“大声喊话”环节了。哪项运动在冬季运动会里是最老的运动?如果你知道的话就大声喊出来。是高山滑雪，还是雪橇跳台滑雪还是单板滑雪?你有三秒钟回答时间，开始。

In the first Winter Olympics in 1924, ski jumping was the only one of these events to be held. That`s your answer and that`s your shoutout.

在1924年第一次冬奥会上，跳台滑雪是唯一一项举行的运动。这就是你的答案，下面我们正式进入此环节。

Other events in the 1924 Winter Olympics, curling, figure skating, bobsleigh. Norway took home most of the medals. Norway has the most Winter Olympics medals of any country ever. But it`s never won a women`s Olympic ski jumping event. No one has, because until now, it didn`t exist. So, you could call the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, a jumping off point.

1924年冬奥会上其他运动包括冰壶，花样滑冰和雪橇运动，挪威获得了大部分奖牌。挪威是获得冬奥会奖牌最多的国家，没有之一。但是从来没有摘得过女子奥运会跳台滑雪运动的奖牌。没有任何人摘得过，因为直到现在还没有这个项目。所以你可以称2014年俄罗斯索契冬奥会为一个新的起点。

Nice in run position. She`s super balanced, super

滑行位置不错，她特别会掌握平衡，非常棒。

For Jessica Jerome the feeling of a perfect jump is like nothing else.

对于杰西卡杰罗姆来说，完美一跳的动作完成非常轻松。

It`s effortless and it`s clean, and you just flow.

这是毫不费力的，并且完成干脆利索，然后你就开始滑动。

Jessica`s incredible Olympic journey started with these jump at the age of seven.

杰西卡令人难以置信的奥运之旅自七岁时从这一跳开始。

Number 48, Jessica Jerome. First .

48号杰西卡杰罗姆，第一个登场。

Good jump, Jesse.

跳的漂亮，杰西。

She came home one day and announced that she wanted to ski jump, and I had no idea what she was talking about.

有一天她回到家对我说她想跳台滑雪，我当时根本不知道他在说什么。

Within a few years, Jessica and a few of her friends from Park City, Utah were competing hitting jumps at 60 plus miles per hour, right alongside the boys.

过了几年，杰西卡和她的几个来自犹他州城市公园的朋友竞争跳每小时60英里，就在男生们旁边。

We jumped with our hair tucked back, and you couldn`t tell the difference.

我们跳得头发满脸都是，你都分不清谁是谁。

It was decided that women would only be able to compete against each other.

这个项目被决定为只能在女子之间相互竞争。

Which was great for us, because we had our own - we wanted our own competitions, but then they would say, well, you just don`t have the depth that the guys have.

这对我们来说是个好消息，因为我们希望在我们之间展开竞争，接下来你们可能说你可能是没有别人的能力。

The women could compete, but no Olympics and no official support.

女子同样也可以竞争，但是没有任何奥林匹克运动会或者任何官方支持。

They guys were sponsored by the U.S. ski team, they had a substantial budget, compared to what the girls - the girls had nothing.

他们由美国滑雪团队赞助，有大量预算，与女孩相比，女孩什么都没有。

But they kept jumping and the former mayor of Salt Lake City who had firsthand experience with the Olympics got involved.

但他们一直坚持，并且曾参与奥运会的盐湖城前市长也参与了进来。

This is discrimination, plain and simple.

这显而易见是一种歧视。

But for decades the International Olympic Committee disagreed.

但是几十年来国际奥林匹克委员会一直没有同意。

A sport must be widely practiced around the world. This is not the case for women`s ski jumping.

一种运动必须得到世界各地的广泛练习。这不是拒绝女子跳台滑雪的理由。

Jessica and teammate Lindsey Van and 13 girls from five different countries decided to take on the IOC in court. They filed suit demanding that women jumpers be included in the Vancouver Olympics. It turned out to be another heartbreaking defeat.

杰西卡和她的队友林赛范还有13个来自不同国家的女孩决定把国际奥委会告上法庭。这又成了另一种让人伤心的失败。

There was a lot of times when I wasn`t sure I wanted to jump anymore.

有很多时候我都不确定我还想不想跳。

Jessica says watching the Vancouver Olympics felt like seeing a party that she wasn`t invited to. And she was getting tired of fighting.

杰西卡说看着温哥华冬奥会会感觉举行了一场聚会而她却没有被邀请。她也厌倦了战斗。

I didn`t like having to be an advocate for the sport. I would have rather been an athlete.

我不喜欢成为这项运动的支持者，我宁愿成为一名运动员。

Alan Alborn, a three time Olympic ski jumper, was one of the skeptics.

Alan Alborn是一位三次奥运会跳台滑雪运动员，也是怀疑论者之一。

I would be the first to say, I was very narrow- minded when the women first started fighting.

我可能会成为第一个说这话的人，当我知道女人也开始参加比赛的时候我非常容不下她们。

But now he`s a believer and he`ll coach the first ever U.S. women`s Olympic ski jumping team at Sochi.

但是现在他是一个坚信者，他将执教美国首个女子奥林匹克跳台滑雪队伍在索契进行比赛。

To see these athletes finally achieve their dreams is just fabulous.

看到这些运动员终于实现她们的梦想真是难以置信。
