Why had no one heard of him until his "coin flips are racist" snit?
GREAT?
Please.
Your ignorance of who he is falls on you.
He is the only man ever to have won Olympic gold in the 1000 meter speed skating event back to back.
The Olympics are full of successful athletes the typical american cannot name, because their sports aren’t what play during prime time... that doesn’t mean they are not great athletes.
Yes, him playing the race card over a coin toss was stupid and petty, but those belittling his accomplishments here are just as wrong.
