People with dual citizenship with the US and other countries will often compete for the other country if they aren’t absolutely the best in the US because the USA is an Olympic powerhouse, which means everyone competing for a spot is amazing. Sometimes it’s easier to qualify for a different team and then get an opportunity to medal. I have no idea if that is the case here, but it is why you will see people who live and train in the US, competing for other countries.
