No Medals for U.S. Speedskating Today!
Do you like how I put that? I didn't say, "No medals for American speedskaters in the men's 1500," because that would be a lie. But neither silver medalist Shani Davis nor bronze medalist Chad Hedrick can rightfully be claimed by U.S. Speedskating, who had nothing to do with their success.
Don't get me wrong - by the time the Spring Board Meeting comes around, U.S. Speedskating is going to be milking all of the American medalists for all they're worth, claiming them as their own and saying what a great Olympics it was.
So far, alternative training programs have produced twice as many medals as the U.S. Speedskating National Team program!! The National Team has produced only one skater, who has won two medals, and that is Joey Cheek, from Ryan Shimabukuro's sprint team. Tom Cushman's Allround program has yet to win a medal in the Torino Games, as do any of the American women.
