Shani Davis takes the gold in men's 1000m speed skating.
At an unofficial time of 1:08:89, Shani continues his dominance of that event and becomes the first black American to win an individual Winter Olympics gold medal. Congratulations.
His time was almost :30 better than Cheek's second-place showing. Meanwhile, Chad Hedrick, the sentimental favorite and media darling who criticized Shani's decision not to compete in team pursuit, came in sixth place. There's something to be said for humility.
