Gilmore Junio has decided to take one for the team, giving up his spot in Wednesdays 1000-metre speed skating final for Canadian teammate Denny Morrison.

The three-time Olympian Morrison failed to qualify at the 1,000 distance at the
Olympic trials in Calgary last month, falling just 50 metres short of the
finish. But Junio, who finished 11th on Monday in his Olympic debut in the mens
500, said Tuesday its the right thing to do. “How Denny is skating now, I
believe its in the best interest of the team if he races,” Junio said in a
statement released by Speed Skating Canada. “To represent Canada at the Olympics
is a huge honour and privilege but I believe that as Canadians, were not just
here to compete; we are here to win. Denny has proven to be a consistent medal
threat in the distance.” Its true Morrison is a contender at 1,000. Hes
currently sixth in the World Cup standings at the distance, with a pair of
fourth place finishes. In the past, hes won two silver medals at the world
championships in the 1,000. The 28-year-old Fort St. John, B.C., native will try
to win his first individual Olympic medal. Hes won gold and silver the last two
Olympics as part of Canadas team pursuit. “This is an amazing gesture and Im
ready to make the most of this opportunity,” Morrison said. Shani Davis of the
United States will be gunning for another groundbreaking achievement in
Wednesdays 1,000 metre race. Davis, 31, can become the first man ever to win
three consecutive Olympic gold medals in speed skating, and the first American
to do three straight in any Winter Games sport. The Chicago native, who trained
extensively at the Calgary Oval earlier this century, became the first African
American to win Olympic gold in an individual Winter Games sport in 2006. Since
then, hes set the world record at 1,000 and holds the top 10 sea level times at
the distance. Given that Davis has twice won Olympic gold at 1,000 but has
settled for silver twice in the 1,500, you might expect him to be more desirous
of grabbing gold at the longer distance. Not so. "Those are my babies, man. I
cant love one more than the other," he told The Associated Press last week. "Ive
got two hands for two medals." Davis has shown signs of mortality in recent
weeks. After winning the first three World Cup races at 1,000 this season, he
finished third in December in Berlin to 2010 Olympic silver medallist Tae-Bum Mo
of South Korea and Michel Mulder of the Netherlands. Last month, he split two
races at the world sprint championships in January with Denis Kuzin of
Kazakhstan. Other medal contenders include Dutch competitor Kjled Nuis and Brian
Hansen, like Davis from the Chicago area. Three other Canadians join Morrison in
Wednesdays race. William Dutton of Humboldt, Sask., and Muncef Ouardi each
skated in the 500 metres on Monday. Dutton impressed at the sprint worlds Japan
last month with a fourth place showing, although some of the worlds best elected
not to travel to Japan. Vincent De Haître of Cumberland, Ont., will make his
Olympic debut. The 19-year-old surprised many at the Olympic trials by posting
the fastest time at 1,000.

had a goal from Mattia Destro waved off for offside and Inters Rodrigo Palacio
headed high. "A draw was a fair result. Neither squad had many chances," Roma
midfielder Miralem Pjanic said.

The Leafs were back on the ice Wednesday following an 10-day break. It
apparently wasnt long enough, as Team Canadas 2-1 win over Latvia didnt conclude
before the Leafs began practice. "I was thinking we might get a little delay,
but it was nice to get out there," said Tyler Bozak of watching Wednesdays game.
