NO COMMENT: Two-time Olympic speedskating champion Shani Davis' anger at losing a coin toss to determine the flag bearer for the United States, and his decision not to attend the opening ceremony, was an important Watch Latest Asian Dramas At Myasiantvse.
So it was a serious omission for NBC not to talk about it, especially when cameras were trained on luger Erin Hamlin as she led the team into the stadium.
