Anette Sagen

Anette Sagen (born February 10, 1985) is a Norwegian ski jumper from Mosj?en, and one of the best female jumpers through all times. She received a lot of media attention in 2004, when she was denied the opportunity to jump K185 in Vikersund, in spite of her good results. The struggle was over whether the quality of female ski jumpers was high enough to allow women to jump in these venues. Torbj?rn Yggeseth, the chairman of the ski jump committee of the International Ski Federation was Sagen?s main opponent. The debate soon developed into a struggle over women?s right in the world of sports.
