Equal Jumping Rights
The petite blond girl stood at the top of the Salisbury Winter Sports Association’s 20-meter jump, having lugged her skis up the more than 90 slippery steps that led her to the top of the hill. A quick word from her coach, Ken Barker—“Don’t sit back like you’re reading the paper.
