CITY, State (Fox News) — Team Canada manipulated the outcome of the North American Cup in Lake Tahoe, New York, preventing American Olympian Katie Uhlaender from qualifying for the Milan Cortina Winter Games.

## Investigation Reveals Team Canada’s Manipulation
The International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation found that Team Canada withdrew its athletes intentionally to reduce the points available to competitors, making it impossible for Uhlaender to qualify.

## Uhlaender’s Fight for Qualification
Despite the findings, the IBSF will not penalize Canada or change the event’s outcome. Uhlaender is leading an international protest to gain qualification for the Olympics.

## Support for Uhlaender
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has petitioned the IOC on Uhlaender’s behalf, with support from 14 other countries. Vice President JD Vance will lead the U.S. Presidential Delegation to the Milan Cortina Olympics and Uhlaender hopes he will advocate for her participation.
