Wotherspoon vs Davis

lolz

Sout Korea's Mo won men's 500m--not

Wotherspoon. So obviously he's good but

not "the best."

@pedrom41 hmm i guess 67 world cup wins most wins by anyone ever doesnt make wotherspoon the best. oh yeah isnt he the world record holder too? yeah he is I guess a shitty olympics takes away all of your other accomplishments according to uninformed people who base everything off one race. i suppose its a matter of opinion but maybe take everything into account not one race...

[pedrom41]

Wotherspoon=1:07.03

Davis=1:07.04

0:00.01 was the difference. Wotherspoon

won, but the time is not dramatically huge

to categorically proclaim that Wotherspoon is much better or much faster than Davis. If you did pay close attention to the race, then you saw where

Davis had a little trouble--and that could have made the difference. This is not in any way to discredit Wotherspoon, but check the replay at 2:56/3:25. The race could've been won by Davis.

@pedrom41 The whole point of speed skating is to beat someone, even if it's by one one hundredth of a second. They train for months, just to shave of that bit of time, so yes, it is a huge deal that he beat shani by 0:00.01

@pedrom41 doesnt matter if his foot is up. They use the tip of the blade of the front foot, if that foot fails to trigger the laser they will go back and correct the time using using highspeed camera.

Davis is a much respected ice speed skater. He's a great rider and a wonderful addition to the legacy of speed skating. Much more so than f.i.a Chad Haddrick.

Lets go whiteys. Time to down that Shitty Davis.

[canucks4ever83]

Wotherspoon is the best. !!!!!!!

[TehNrk]

I didnt even know Black people are speed iceskating, lol.. nice :)

[ETAG231189]

Davis is the only black world class speed skater

[pedrom41]

For now, yes, but Davis is serving as an

example to other blacks, and eventually

more in the future will develop interest in

those sports. It's all matter of being exposed to different things, encouraged, and supported the same way Shani Davis

was. I do not know why there are still some people qustioning black people's

athletic ability and capability.

jajoh gaggen die handel! wkmdnv! schaatsende alcoholisten

[TeshawnEdmonds]

That was almost too close to call between Wotherspoon, Davis and Koskela's WR of 67"- (1'07"-). As a matter of fact, it's a photo finish to the TV standpoint

[SteelbeenMcLance]

Nice race, damn :d
