Kaillie Humphries formally selected for USA Bobsled's national team

The two-time Olympic champion for Canada was selected Thursday night as a member of the U.S. team for this season. The announcement was merely a formality, since Humphries won the U.S. team trials in Lake Placid, New York, earlier this week.

Humphries switching national teams was perhaps the biggest story in bobsledding over the off-season. She won the bronze for Canada at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, took last season off after filing a harassment claim against her national team and its coach Todd Hays - an American and former U.S. Olympian - saying she did not feel safe from harassment and mental abuse.

Canada, after much legal wrangling, agreed to release Humphries in late September in the move that essentially allowed her to slide for the Americans. Qualifying for the national team, which Humphries did at the team trials, was the final hurdle to clear.

Playing hockey in the USA and representing USA in the Olympics are two completely different things

For a world champion she spent a lot of time portraying herself as a victim. Good riddens

Again who cares

Absolutely disgraceful leaving your country to go to another

Traitor.

Just think by switching from Canada to US her pay just went up 5000%

He looks buff

Olympians represent their country. And the Canadian tax payers had helped her along the way, mad her who she athletically. And she betrayed her country and her people. Shame. KaillieHumphries.

Who cares

Good for her! It’s no different than Canadians going to play hockey, or other sports in the US, and nobody cares about that.

Traitor

That is so not right...she shouldn't be wearing a Canada shirt if she is not competing for Canada.

This is NOT NEWS!!!!

Trader!

Traitor and turncoat - glad we were able to support you getting ready for US team

Who cares I hope she loses ..

How good are US bobsledder?

Who cares about a sports traitor like BobsledKaillie ? She is an American athlete. Let CNN cover her news.

Hope she wins lol

Would she pass a drug test if it were done today? Judging by her bulk, I say no!!!

Who cares and why is she in OUR news
