CNN News:冬奧會(huì)添加女子跳臺滑雪項(xiàng)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“大聲喊話”環(huán)節(jié)了。哪項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)在冬季運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)里是最老的運(yùn)動(dòng)?如果你知道的話就大聲喊出來。是高山滑雪，還是雪橇跳臺滑雪還是單板滑雪?你有三秒鐘回答時(shí)間，開始。

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年第一次冬奧會(huì)上，跳臺滑雪是唯一一項(xiàng)舉行的運(yùn)動(dòng)。這就是你的答案，下面我們正式進(jìn)入此環(huán)節(jié)。

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年冬奧會(huì)上其他運(yùn)動(dòng)包括冰壺，花樣滑冰和雪橇運(yùn)動(dòng)，挪威獲得了大部分獎(jiǎng)牌。挪威是獲得冬奧會(huì)獎(jiǎng)牌最多的國家，沒有之一。但是從來沒有摘得過女子奧運(yùn)會(huì)跳臺滑雪運(yùn)動(dòng)的獎(jiǎng)牌。沒有任何人摘得過，因?yàn)橹钡浆F(xiàn)在還沒有這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。所以你可以稱2014年俄羅斯索契冬奧會(huì)為一個(gè)新的起點(diǎn)。

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

滑行位置不錯(cuò)，她特別會(huì)掌握平衡，非常棒。

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

對于杰西卡杰羅姆來說，完美一跳的動(dòng)作完成非常輕松。

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

這是毫不費(fèi)力的，并且完成干脆利索，然后你就開始滑動(dòng)。

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

杰西卡令人難以置信的奧運(yùn)之旅自七歲時(shí)從這一跳開始。

Number 48, Jessica Jerome. First .

48號杰西卡杰羅姆，第一個(gè)登場。

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.

有一天她回到家對我說她想跳臺滑雪，我當(dāng)時(shí)根本不知道他在說什么。

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.

過了幾年，杰西卡和她的幾個(gè)來自猶他州城市公園的朋友競爭跳每小時(shí)60英里，就在男生們旁邊。

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

我們跳得頭發(fā)滿臉都是，你都分不清誰是誰。

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

這個(gè)項(xiàng)目被決定為只能在女子之間相互競爭。

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.

這對我們來說是個(gè)好消息，因?yàn)槲覀兿Ｍ谖覀冎g展開競爭，接下來你們可能說你可能是沒有別人的能力。

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

女子同樣也可以競爭，但是沒有任何奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)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.

他們由美國滑雪團(tuán)隊(duì)贊助，有大量預(yù)算，與女孩相比，女孩什么都沒有。

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

但他們一直堅(jiān)持，并且曾參與奧運(yùn)會(huì)的鹽湖城前市長也參與了進(jìn)來。

This is discrimination, plain and simple.

這顯而易見是一種歧視。

But for decades the International Olympic Committee disagreed.

但是幾十年來國際奧林匹克委員會(huì)一直沒有同意。

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

一種運(yùn)動(dòng)必須得到世界各地的廣泛練習(xí)。這不是拒絕女子跳臺滑雪的理由。

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.

杰西卡和她的隊(duì)友林賽范還有13個(gè)來自不同國家的女孩決定把國際奧委會(huì)告上法庭。這又成了另一種讓人傷心的失敗。

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

有很多時(shí)候我都不確定我還想不想跳。

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

杰西卡說看著溫哥華冬奧會(huì)會(huì)感覺舉行了一場聚會(huì)而她卻沒有被邀請。她也厭倦了戰(zhàn)斗。

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

我不喜歡成為這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的支持者，我寧愿成為一名運(yùn)動(dòng)員。

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

Alan Alborn是一位三次奧運(yùn)會(huì)跳臺滑雪運(yùn)動(dòng)員，也是懷疑論者之一。

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

我可能會(huì)成為第一個(gè)說這話的人，當(dāng)我知道女人也開始參加比賽的時(shí)候我非常容不下她們。

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

但是現(xiàn)在他是一個(gè)堅(jiān)信者，他將執(zhí)教美國首個(gè)女子奧林匹克跳臺滑雪隊(duì)伍在索契進(jìn)行比賽。

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

看到這些運(yùn)動(dòng)員終于實(shí)現(xiàn)她們的夢想真是難以置信。
