Nonsense. Chamizo moved to Italy, married an Italian, he's still here after many years and was essentially banned from competing for Cuba.
Colturi's tie to Albania is that the Albanian federation had invested a ton of money in her mother's business (élite and very costly academy for young skiers), and then gave her a role, and probably another big salary, as a director in exchange for the pomise of their first winter Olympic medal. A better comparison is to that archer who competed for Ivory Coast because her father had a big clothing business in the country.
That would be stupid to retire one year before the Olympics. It's not like there are 5 other Polish jumpers who are better than him. On the contrary, Poland is in a slight slump currently and no one stands out.
An American in top 10 is totally unexpected Frantz has a lot of potential, but let's see if he can keep up with the consistency. The US investing in the renovation of the Lake Placid hills is starting to give positives. And they are going to make a brand new hill for Ski-flying in Northern Michigan next year, which could be used in the summer as well.
