Kirk - you are right. I wrote that several people 'claimed' we are without a suitable representative in the 100, and this was really my inference from the discussions - a statement that we might not have a medal contender, that we will be without the number one seed from the U.S., and the idea that her actions were 'selfish.' If folks posting here aren't concerned that the U.S. will miss its best shot at a medal in this event, then why is her decision an issue?
