Joint resolution supporting, in solidarity with national and international ski organizations and numerous skiers across the globe, the introduction of long-overdue gender equality in Nordic combined Olympic competition and urging that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) only introduce new Olympic sports that practice gender equality

This joint resolution from Vermont supports gender equality in Nordic combined Olympic competitions. It calls for the International Olympic Committee to ensure that any new Olympic sports introduced promote gender equality. The resolution reflects the views of various ski organizations and athletes worldwide.

Supporters of this resolution would highlight Vermont's commitment to gender equality in sports, celebrating the state's proactive stance in advocating for equal opportunities in the Olympics. They would emphasize the importance of aligning Olympic competitions with modern values of fairness and inclusion, inspiring future generations of athletes.
