GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — Shani Davis would've been a fitting choice to carry the American flag into the Olympic opening ceremony, a superb athlete who helped break racial barriers at the Winter Games.
Someone sure dropped the coin on this one.
The U.S. Olympic Committee, an organization that never passes up a chance to shoot itself in the foot, came up with a voting process that could quite plausibly end in a tie.
It did, of course.
And how was the deadlock broken?
With the flip of a coin.
Whether it was heads or tails, we may never know.
