Don't be so harsh, that's only situation in men. In women Meyers is doing quite well.

That's only because Serena W. hasn't announced her plans yet.

I forgot about her, I’m an idiot. We’re friends on Instagram too. I’m a bad friend apparently. I get lost in my disappointment of the men’s team.

Well, that won't last forever. Wait when preparations for next OG will start. But I think that you need new drivers. Bascue is still junior, but somehow he didn't convince me to give him chance in next season. Maybe Geoffrey Gadbois and/or Hunter Church? But still I'm really interested how Americans will start in their own track in Lake Placid.

You can try and probably you'll succed considering that Polish federation is very poor  But if you want someone from Poland maybe you should consider Dawid Kupczyk who is now coach of Czech team (did you see what Dvorak is doing this season?).

Maybe they get some cash for better equipment? In Czech or France is possible, I think. For example Luty is doing much better in twos because he has better sleds. In fours he is riding some old metal thing that could be longer in this sport than him. That and the thing that he has only one good pusher (Tylkowski) so start times in twos are pretty good, but in fours are terrible.
