Shani Davis won’t skate 5 events at Olympics: Shani Davis decided four Olympic races is enough. The U.S. speedskating star had a shot at duplicating Eric Heiden’s feat of competing in all five individual events at the Winter Games, a schedule that would have put him in races ranging from 500 to 10,000 meters. But when it came time to make the final call, Davis backed out on the longest race at Vancouver. Guy Thibault, the high-performance director at U.S. Speedskating, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Davis withdrew his name from the 10,000 before a Jan. 17 deadline.
