A row has erupted between the US and Canada skeleton teams after American athlete Katie Uhlaender accused a Canadian coach of sabotaging her chances of qualifying for next month’s Winter Olympics.
Uhlaender, a five-time Olympian and two-time world champion, said Canada’s head coach Joe Cecchini manipulated the entry lists for the North American Cup at Lake Placid on Sunday in order to guarantee that the Canadian team made the cut for the Games.
