After pushing for their rightful place on sport’s biggest stage the team will compete in Russia, 2014.  Female ski jumper Jessica Jerome comments:

 Jessica Jerome: This is the first time that girls have been allowed to compete at that level and when you meet people and you tell people that, they think about it and they say, you know what? You’re right but I never really realized it.
