The United States is still in the hunt of the first top ten finish Because & eacute; the performance of the tips (Tim Burke, Lowell Bailey, Susan Dunklee) non & egrave; was in line with expectations of early winter. The 'only happy note, in relation to the potential, & egrave; found to be Hannah Dreissigacker.
In this view, there are no major changes, except for the "downgrading" of Russell Currier, who garegger & agrave; cadet in the circuit where incidentally we will see the teenager Sean Doherty, who make & agrave; his international debut after giving evidence to the participation of the World Cup in December although he had earned a pectoral in the trials.
According to the press release from the federation, were selected only three men and three women for World Cup races. Because the thing is perplexing & eacute ;, if cos & Igrave; were, the US would give up to participate in all the brackets in January (they are scheduled well 3), with its penalty in the ranking for nations and possible reduction in the quota for 2015 - '' 16.

You will see & agrave; if indeed the United States will desert the relay of January, or if - at least in Antholz - will come & agrave; aggregate fourth athlete.
These choices for the stages of the World Cup in Oberhof, Ruhpolding, and Antholz for 'Ibu Cup Duszniki Zdroj and Langdorf.
