Chance of a U.S. Repeat Seems Slim

The U.S. won gold medals in men’s and women’s skeleton in 2002 when the sport was revived for the Salt Lake City Games, but Katie Uhlaender of Breckenridge, Colo., isn’t expected to beat out favorites Mellisa Hollingsworth-Richards of Canada and Maya Pedersen of Switzerland. The U.S. team has been in turmoil since former coach Tim Nardiello lost his job after being accused of sexual harassment by some of the women’s team members and slider Zach Lund was suspended for testing positive for a banned substance in hair-restoration pills.
