All three of the women (Morghan King, Jenny Arthur, and Sarah Robles) representing the US at the Olympic Games in Rio have been a part of the Olympic Training Center program in Colorado. 

The change will take affect September 30, meaning anything planning to take place there before then will not be affected. USAW has starting looking for alternative options across the country, and will retain ownership of the equipment. The equipment will be distributed to new programs once they're identified. 

“We are truly disappointed to see the end of our resident program. This historic training site has assisted in producing Olympians and champions in our sport. Awareness of this closure prior to the 2016 Games gives our organization time to evaluate our training needs going into the next Olympic quadrennial,” said Phil Andrews, USAW CEO.
