Legendary speed skater Shani Davis. Hadn't raced since the 2018 Olympics, but had never said he's retired until now.

Shani Davis is back in the world of speed skating...he's a coach for China, training young short track skaters to go to the long track version and win medals in 2022 Dutch NOS had a chat with him at the Junior World Cup in Enschede this weekend, if the video works outside of the country, you can watch it here: https://nos.nl/video/2311881-shani-davis-duikt-op-in-enschede-altijd-blij-in-nederland-te-zijn.html Also: that's the first time he has actually said he is retired. He didn't skate anymore after Pyeongchang (they show part of what we now know is his final race), but had never officially retired. Something the reporter says in Dutch at the end will always hold very true though: "Davis likes the Netherlands and Dutch habits and the Netherlands likes Davis. It used to be like that, it still is like that and it will always be like that." Shani

But conservatives aren't exactly known for telling truths. Not hard truths, not soft truths. The Republicans in the US are at this very moment working hard to prove that over and over again, as we've seen in the past few weeks.

But Won't You Be My Neighbour is a 2018 documentary, definitely not with Tom Hanks. It's cool if you recommend movies to people, but it'd be more than helpful if you actually give the name of the movie as well I'm assuming it's this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Beautiful_Day_in_the_Neighborhood

For those interested, second of four stages in the Dutch Trachitol Cup, a sort of stage race with four marathons (AKA real mass starts). https://nos.nl/livestream/2311628-studio-sport-ontknoping-trachitol-trophy-v.html

No. Next week.

Is there a price per position as well? Because the best goalkeeper award desperately needs to go to Onana

Officially, yeah...but that's about it. This travesty sucks, but congratulations to the two teams in the final.

Cool, pregnant Dajana Eitberger is in the forerunner team for the team event

Not sure that'd be great with these conditions..

And a new winner in the World Cup scene with Jonas Müller

Yet another unusual result even for Igls, compared to previous seasons: Repilov from 16th to the podium

Zyla needs a bandaid.

The first individual competition is well underway

Ryding, finally some hopeful showing again

The horse polo, the sport Argentina bosses the world in, is in the SEA Games? And Brunei?

A nice facelift is kicking out the Coe's of this world and announcing you're gonna stop fucking up the sport with weird DNA events and dumb Diamond League formats and so on.

Luge needs a mixed relay. "But there is the team event!" No, I mean a relay. Handing over the baton halfway down the track sounds like it's going to be anything but boring

Excellent run for Christmas

At least you have bikes. Germans stole all of ours

It's luge. If you're not saying things - including names - in a heavy German accent, you're doing it wrong.

Christian Oberstolz.

How did that happen, his birthday suddenly came three months too early or what?
