At 33, Shani Davis jokes that he’s close to being called a speed skating grandpa, but the four-time Olympic medalist is still considering a run for the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics.
“I still have that passion from when I first started skating,” Davis told NBC TMJ4 in Milwaukee in January. “I’m just going to try to time it, you know. I want to time it so that if I do make it to 2018, that I’m in the best shape physically and mentally.”
Davis, who took gold in the 1000m and silver in the 1500m at both the 2006 and 2010 Olympics, finished fifth in those distances at the World Single Distance Championships two weeks ago.
