Looks good. Good luck US Team!
I wonder if Pavlina will be the only person to have run 2 WOC's in Hungary (1983, 2009)?
well, I don't think Eileen is running for us...
Congrats to those selected!
I find it interesting that there are no obvious "sprint specialists", since 4 of those selected for the sprint are also picked for the Long (not Middle), while the other 2 are on the Middle (not Long).
