Shani Davis struck Olympic gold earlier this week with a win in the 1000 meter men’s long track speed ice skating. It was an amazing feat for Davis, who in the Turn 2006 Winter Olympics became the first Black / African Diaspora athlete to win an individual gold medal. He doubled up by becoming the first speed skater to defend his gold medal in the 1000 meter long track event.

Today in the 1500 men’s long track speed skating Davis came up slightly short — .53 seconds to be exact and took his second silver in the event.
