Our men's team hasn't won shit in over 100 years and our women's team only accounts for one medal per olympics anyway.
Our downhill skiers would still be able to compete in world cup skiing. There is a World Cup for rugby but I doubt we will be in medal contention when rugby sevens comes to the 2016 games. Beyond that I don't know of any other world cups.

UMMMM...
World cup of hockey, world cup of skiing, world cup of speed skating, and pretty much every other sport in the world dude. . Almost every sport has a world cup, and if you close off your boarders to other athletes training in your country, you exclude yourself from the world cup.
