US EditionCAS says it lacks jurisdiction over US skeleton athlete Katie Uhlaender’s Olympic appeal
- On Feb 2, the Court of Arbitration for Sport's Milan‑Cortina ad-hoc panel said it has no jurisdiction over U.S. skeleton racer Katie Uhlaender's appeal, so she will not join the Winter Olympic roster.
- CAS explained its Olympic ad-hoc panel only hears appeals within 10 days of February 6, so the Jan. 11 race and Jan. 23 IBSF decision fell before Jan. 27.
- After the development race in Lake Placid on Jan. 11, four Canadian athletes were withdrawn late, shrinking the field and reducing ranking points, ending Uhlaender's qualifying hopes.
- After the IBSF Integrity Unit cleared Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton and the IOC rejected Uhlaender's wild card, CAS said it lacked jurisdiction over her appeal.
- The dispute reached athletes from Denmark, Israel and Malta after Canadian withdrawals, while CAS issued a similar out-of-jurisdiction ruling on an Irish Luge Federation appeal and luge quota shows 106 spots but only 105 athletes listed.
