Overview
- Katie Uhlaender’s petition was dismissed after CAS ruled the dispute fell outside its Milan-Cortina ad-hoc division’s 10-day window, with the latest relevant action dated Jan. 23.
- Uhlaender argued late withdrawals by four Canadian athletes at a Jan. 11 Lake Placid race reduced ranking points and cost her an Olympic berth.
- The IBSF Integrity Unit cleared Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton of rule violations, while an IBSF appeals tribunal said evidence suggested the withdrawals were intentional but it could not change results.
- The IOC declined a discretionary place for Uhlaender, and the United States will field Kelly Curtis and Mystique Ro in women’s skeleton.
- CAS issued a similar out-of-jurisdiction decision for an Irish luge appeal, underscoring the Games-time tribunal’s limited scope.
