She wished us a happy 4th this week and now is saying this.... I'm extremely disappointed.
She said it in her latest video, honestly I'm surprised with her bluntness as most athletes that didn't qualify probably feel the same but would never say it. Still disappointed because she should have kept it to herself.

Eh, many, MANY people say it after a disappointing trials race or untimely injury. You just don’t hear it from your computer screen. Most of us that have been close try to search any loophole or potential avenue to the Games that is potentially possible.

Is there a reason why Allie O’Strander cannot represent the Emerald Isle?

Does she have dual citizenship? .... then the answer is NO.

Unfortunately, some US competitors hate their country.

There are several US territories, American Samoa, Guam, US Virgins, Puerto Rico,maybe someplace I'm not recalling, that send teams to the Olympics, Residents there are US cictizens and someone from the fifty states can move to them almost as readily as they can move to any of the other fifty states. I'm assuming you were thinking of when Gary Fanelli ran the Olympic Marathon for American Samoa when you chose your screen name. I don't know what would be involved in actually getting one of those places to put you into their Olympic team. I know Fanelli had some sort of connection to American Samoa but can't recall what it was. If Ostrander thinks she wants to have a go at running in LA in four years she should look into settling in one of these places.

What a great website this would be without anonymous trolling every hour of the day

What is wrong with her? She didn't make the OLy team so she's going to pout about it grow up and move on.

I dont know if Gary F. had any connection to American Samoa other than being "out there".

The most common State when dual citizenship is used is Ireland because of Irelands loose rules between Citizenship and Heritage. I can think of Mike Keough (NY) using it in 72 or 76.

Gary turns up on my Facebook page now and again. If I think of it the next time he does maybe I'll ask how that happened. Like you, all I lknow is that he was there for a much longer time than the average vacationer. . You are correct about Irish citizenship not being real hard to obtain. My mum definitely could have gotten it and if she had I could have gotten it as well. As it is, I still would have a decent shot at it and wouldn't be surprised if you did too.
