I agree with you entirely. The sport is judged on distance and style. Style is very subjective and belongs in something other than sports.

They can fly upside down with a crash helmet....I don't care....so long as they measure the longest jump.

If the rules are you've got to land on your feet without falling, then fine. The longest jump where they land on both feet without falling.

Since men have no inherent style capabilities women would clean up. There must be a fairness factor...

I'm still trying to figure out how rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming qualify as "sports," but softball and baseball don't.

Can someone please explain the logic that compelled the IOC to make that decision?
