VANCOUVER -- Canada's Minister of Sport says he is "very disappointed" by an International Olympic Committee decision to keep women from ski jumping in the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver."The clearest statement I can make is that we are very disappointed with the IOC decision, and I mean that as a strong statement," said Peter Van Loan, who joined a multiparty expression of support for female Canadian ski jumpers who want to jump in an event parallel to their male counterparts in the 2010 Games.
