This is still going on?  :rolleyes::pope:

Uhlander could've competed at the WCs and got the points she needed to overtake Ro but instead went for the easier route and failed, and now she's complaining and calling it dirty because the outcome didn't go her way. She's even comparing "Canada's withdrawal of athletes to" doping:facepalm:

Don't think she could have competed at the WCs as an :USA because they were limited to two athletes and the coaches naturally preferred to go with the younger athletes.

No, they had several selection races before the season, the top 4 made the World Cup Team.

Which 4 were they?

If Uhlaender can't beat any of them to make it onto a WC team, then even more of a reason... :dunno:

 

It's like the internal competition is the level of the German bobsleigh team

Here's the report, for anyone interested.  (It's not as damning towards the Canadians as the headlines would lead you to believe...not shocked.). In here, it does seem as if Uhlaender was hoping to get picked over Ro...yet I thought I read elsewhere (sorry, can't find the source right now) that she ultimately didn't want to take Ro's place...  (which wouldn't make sense if it wasn't going to increase our quota).  She's probably upset at a number of things...not being picked to WC team first, not having a place for the Olympics, and then this with Canada.

 

It is interesting that the USOPC is backing this, though...one would hope that it wouldn't stoop to the level of personal grievances...

The USOPC backing this doesn't make much sense to me because if they do believe Uhlaender got cheated and is the best choice to go to the Olympics they can... just pick her over Ro.
