Eric Heiden still holds the record for maximal wattage output ever on the Wingate test, its something that has been done repeatedly since the 70s, and its basically how much does your body generate over a maximal 30 second effort.
Every pro cyclist ever has done this, even with modern sports training & steroids & etc etc, no one has beaten Eric.

“Without sportsmanship victories mean nothing IMO.”
I agree.
Oh he is a decent skater no doubt but his skill on the ice is way overshadowed by his racism and pettiness..

Maybe he doesnt care about a grand sendoff. More likely, he didnt trust us to give him one How the hell is it "our" fault? Shani is baby with sense of entitlement.

And he is old as heck. Is there really no skater under 35 that could have taken his place? I think he gassed out. But his previous medals and checking a box certainly gained him a spot. Then he thought he deserved even more. Ugh, tacky. No doubt he will be anointed to retire to a lucrative commentary career.
