Olympic SpeedSkater Shani Davis
Shani Davis Road to Sochi 2014 Olympic
Everyone has High hopes for Shani this year, for a upcoming speed skater in 2006 winning his first gold medal at the age of 18 to now 31 year old fighting for his Third gold medal! His first gold was at Turin, Italy. His second Olympic gold medal was at Vancouver, Canada. Now going for his third Olympic gold medal in Sochi, Russia
Sadly Shani did not win his first two races, but there is one race left the 1500m. its a misfortune that Shani Davis could not hold 3 straight gold Olympic medals for the us. He fights his heart out there on the ice, even if he did not make it he will continue to do what he loves and not let that hold him back. I wish the best for his career and waiting for his comeback, I personally believe that he can make it. I have high hopes.
He has trained hard and long to become one of the top first black speed skaters to win a gold medal. In my view color does not matter, it's more of about the effort & skill rather than color or what he is labeled as. He proved people wrong on his ability and dedicated a big part of his life. It takes a lot to be 18 and a gold medalist. In my eyes thats a lot no matter how much he lost or win he will always have my respect.
What are your guys ideas on his result and action in this years 2014 olympics? Any comments, comment below at the end of the poster / news article. Thank you for your input.
