At a North American Cup (NAC) race earlier this month, Canada had four of its sliders withdraw. The NAC series is a tier below the World Cup level and tends to be a place for developmental athletes to compete. Kelly Curtis and Mystique Ro competed on World Cup this season for the U.S. and secured Olympic spots. Uhlaender has said repeatedly that she is not looking to thwart the Olympic dream for Curtis, Ro or any other athlete. Uhlaender won the women´s skeleton world championship in 2012, medaled in that event at the worlds two other times and finished a controversial fourth at the 2014 Sochi Olympics - with many still believing she should have been awarded the bronze medal.
