That is really a topic deserving a thread of its own. This thread was
about why US teams have not done well. Your questions need to be
discussed on a world wide basis, and not just related to the US team's
performance. Good luck in getting the FAI to totally ditch what they
have been doing for years, but the discussion has to start somewhere.

As a side note, there were quite a few US pilots who qualified higher
than some of the eventual team members who went to the Poland
WGC. There were a number of very good pilots who declined the
opportunity to go for various reasons.

Well actually the thread was about the 'relative silence' of reporting from

the US team, during the last WGC- so the thread has drifted a bit.
