i understand why charles isnt in it. he is a dope skier but has had lack luster comp performances the last year or two, making him not as much of a crowd pleasure/well known name, which in turn will decrease ratings, ITS ALL ABOUT RATINGS! so they want as many familiar faces from the podium as they can get
