Kaitlyn Farrington pulls an upset in a very close competition.

Davis’ shot at Olympic history ended Wednesday at Adler Arena when Stefan Groothuis won gold for the Netherlands in the 1,000 meters, dashing the American’s hopes of becoming the first male speedskater to capture the same event at three straight Olympics.

Franzel and silver medalist Akito Watabe of Japan are also the respective leaders in the World Cup standings.

A controversial goal leads the way for Canada, which is coached by former Portland Pirates coach Kevin Dineen.

Don’t look down.

American Billy Demong finished in 24th place.

Sven Kramer has already won one gold and wants to focus on the 10,000-meter event.
