...TRUE. HE SKATED FAST SHANI DAVIS became the first African-American male to earn Winter Olympic gold by winning the 1,000-m speedskating race. But he didn't win friends. Davis had skipped the team-pursuit event to train for the 1,000, an individual race. When asked about Davis' win, American Chad Hedrick, who raced in the pursuit, said, "Shani skated fast today.

Chad Hedrick, with three days to recover from...
...potential to be a big sport," says Davis--who, although he is relatively unknown in the U.S., has a broader following in Europe, where the sport is popular. The U.S. Speedskating officials, he complains, "don't want to grow in a way where they have five or six Shani Davises." The organization's officials say they are disappointed with the comments but will support Davis at the Olympics...
