After a successful weekend in Salt Lake City Davis squeezed ahead of
Sven Kramer to head the Adelskalendern. Davis was first heard of as
a short tracker when he became the national Junior Short Track Champion in 2001 and 2002.
After that he has tried to compete in both disciplines. Without question his main
accomplishments have come on the long track arena. In the Olympics in Turin 2006 he won gold
on 1000 m and silver on 1500 m. He became World Allround Champion in 2005 and 2006 and World
Sprint Champion in 2009, thereby being the second male skater to become World Champion in both allround
and sprint (the first one was Eric Heiden). To date, he also has 5 individual
gold medals from Single Distance World Championships.
