“FIS added that women’s ski jumping is still a relatively new sport with less spectator interest and marketing revenues than its male counterpart, and consequently has less prize money available”

Should they produce money from nothing?

I wasn't even aware that there is ladies' ski jumping now, and I come from a country with a proud ski jumping tradition.

Yes. It would be better not to have the competition than to insult them like that. So either come up w/prize $ or don't have the contest for women.

Those were qualifiers. The winners of the actual event got money.
