NBC ran an interview with Shani and his mom before they showed his race and basically it all boils down to a mother looking out for her child. She had issues with sponsorships and Shani not being paid properly for them.
Once I saw that interview and how Chad H bad mouthed him, I was mad. He made it seem that Team USA lost the team relay or whatever it's called because Shani decided not to race. When actually Shani wanted to give the younger members of the team a chance to skate who may not otherwise have had a chance to skate in the Olympics.
And then Chad had the nerve not to congratulate him after the race. Just a mess!
