WOMEN SKI JUMPERS GIVEN COURT DATE TO ARGUE THEIR CASE

A group of women ski jumpers will get the chance to argue in a Canadian court on April 20 for their sport to be included in the 2010 Winter Olympics. The ski jumpers have sued the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee and have been assigned a court date for their case to be heard.

The International Olympic Committee voted in 2006 to exclude women's ski jumping from the 2010 Games, saying it didn't meet the basic criteria for an Olympic event.

The lawsuit alleges that excluding women's ski jumping violates the athletes' rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It asks for women's ski jumping to be added to the 2010 Olympics or, barring that, for men's ski jumping to be removed.

-USA Track & Field selected Olympic champions Bryan Clay and Stephanie Brown Trafton for the Jesse Owens Awards as the sport's top American athletes in 2008. The awards will be presented Dec. 6 in Reno, Nev., as part of the Indianapolis-based USATF's annual meeting.

-Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang is expected to have surgery in the United States for a foot injury that forced him to withdraw during the Beijing Olympics. The former Olympic champion and world record holder most likely will have the operation in the next few weeks, his coach said in the China Daily newspaper.
