Olivia Asselin (freestyle skiing)   She was at the X Games competing this week. Another medal hope out the drain, she was in the form of her life 

You'd have to ask her simpatic boyfriend from the USA about that, who is often seen at competitions with her participation

I think Ro is on a lot of marketing stuff, so I don't imagine USABS would be all that keen on her losing the spot. Perhaps that accounts for their deafening silence. 

Unless doing so can get you into the Olympics without kicking out Ro, perhaps.

Exactly. She has been for a few years now

If she did well enough at the US Trials for the WC she wouldn’t have to compete at these NAC events, this is complete bullshit.    I feel for her in a way that she didn’t qualify because of it, but when Canada decided to withdraw them they didn’t do it to prevent Uhlaender from qualifying, they did it to increase Chanell’s odds.    Ro is probably more of a threat to the podium than Uhlaender, Canadian federation would’ve kept the young athletes in if their goal was trying to take out the stronger athletes. If there’s a loophole getting mad at the Canadians for exploiting it is ridiculous. If anything it should be the federation. 

Ro is just the better slider between the two of them in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty six.

From my limited knowledge it looks like USABS made their selection a while ago. Competing in the NAC was already her last ditch effort to try and get selected, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they went with Ro, even if she had fewer points.

I’ll go bungee jumping naked if that happens

You and me both
