Addendum. "It's frustrating, it's disappointing and I can't really explain the Dutch sweep again. It happened in Sochi and it happened now and we haven't seen it really for four years. Explanation? I have no idea." Ivanie Blondin, 4th at last year's World SIngle Distances on the 3K. As for Davis, this is not exactly the ideal way of preparing for your first and only shot at a medal, but whatever sinks yer boat, eh, Shani? From the AP: "Speedskater Shani Davis didn't attend the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Olympics after losing a coin flip to carry the U.S. flag and lead American athletes into the stadium. "A U.S. Speedskating spokesman said Saturday that Davis originally planned to skip Friday night's festivities because of his training schedule but briefly reconsidered when he was nominated by his teammates to be the flag-bearer." "He didn't speak to reporters after his training session on Saturday for the second straight day. Davis' verified Twitter account has since been changed to protected status, which blocks potential followers and doesn't allow his tweets to be seen."
