SALT LAKE CITY (WOOD) - Caledonia native and speed skater Kimberly Derrick is headed to her second Olympics.
24 Hour News 8 sports director Jack Doles just returned from a three-day trip to Salt Lake City where he spoke with Derrick and the rest of her team as it trained for the Vancouver Games.
Two-time medalist Shani Davis is heading to his third Olympics.
He trains primarily with the short-track team, but he'll be the gold medal favorite in the long-track 1,000 meter event. Davis is the world-record holder and defending Olympic champ.
When he won gold in Torino, he became the first black man to win gold in the Winter Games.
