Trying to read between the lines doesn't really help... the decision not to take her to Sochi seems illogical to say the least. She seems to have met all the (published) criteria for selection and the BOA appear to be "giving away" an available place to another country?
Does this all hark back to Eddie The Eagle? Is it the case now that you have to be a dead-cert medal hope and/or already have a high media profile to be able to get to The Olympics?
What do we feel about this?
We think the "official" J2Ski line is that anyone mad enough to enter Ski Cross in the first place should be automatically eligible... the fact that Emily appears to be pretty damned good at it (now ranked inside the world's top 30 as of today, apparently) should seal it.
