Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Speed skater Shani Davis skipped Friday's Opening Ceremony in Pyeongchang, South Korea after voicing his disapproval of how Team USA chose its flag bearer.
Davis, 35, spoke out Thursday against the United States Olympic Committee's process of choosing the flag bearer for Friday's ceremony. Luger Erin Hamlin was eventually chosen for the honor after a coin toss. The original process for the role ended in a tie vote.
