Chellsie Memmel and Terin Humphrey were flown in as alternates to replace them. After a successful performance in the qualification round, Courtney Kupets severely injured her Achilles tendon and the US was then down to 5 athletes, as it was too late to call in their third alternate (Samantha Sheehan) after competition had already begun.
