Conflicting sources

edit

Vathje's Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton athlete profile page differs from her International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation database entry in a number of areas including height and weight. I've updated the page (and also Wikidata) to use the BCS data on the theory that her national federation is closer to the authoritative source of this data than the IBSF database, but it's not obvious that this is actually true. (Since the sleds are weighed with and without the athletes at every competition, the IBSF may have more accurate weight information, but it's not clear whether the IBSF database is actually updated in this way.) 121a0012 (talk) 03:28, 21 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

2021-22 season

I'd like to add a bit about both her being left off the team (which is objective fact) and also her harsh criticism of Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton's management, but wasn't able to find a citation in a reasonable time. She appeared on a podcast in late spring talking about both of these things (after athletes' issues with the federation had become national news, but I didn't have time to listen to it. Surely there must be press coverage. 121a0012 (talk) 01:20, 9 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
