KEARNS, Utah (AP) -- American Shani Davis set a world record in the 1,000 meters Saturday at the speed skating World Cup, breaking the mark U.S. skater Trevor Marsicano held for about 20 minutes.
Davis, who set a world record in the 1,500 meters Friday, finished in 1:06.42 for his second record in two days at the Utah Olympic Oval.
The record had briefly belonged to Marsicano, a 19-year-old from Ballston Spa, N.Y. Marsicano skated early in the 1,000 pairings and finished with a time of 1:06.88, 0.12 seconds faster than the mark Finland's Pekka Koskela set on the same track in November 2007.
