Kaillie Humphries was doing a track inspection in Lake Placid, N.Y. recently when she unexpectedly crossed paths with some members of Canada's bobsleigh team. Brief hellos were exchanged. She kept going on her way. The Canadians went the other direction. This is Humphries' new reality.

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.

Bobsleigh Canada is taking another hit. Three-time Olympian Chris Spring announced on Instagram on Friday that he is stepping away from competition this season. The 35-year-old intends on returning in one year.

Bobsledder Kaillie Humphries wrote an open letter to Canada on Sunday, calling the series of events that ultimately led to the Canadian bobsled team giving her the release she sought in order to compete for the United States "the most difficult process" of her life.

Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton says it has released Kaillie Humphries, freeing her to compete for the United States. The organization announced the move Saturday night in a letter from its board of directors.
