Apolo Anton Ohno, Speed skater

Article Abstract:

Apolo Anton Ohno became the most visible symbol of short-track speed skating a decade after the sport was introduced into the Winter Olympics, winning the gold medal in the 1,500-meter race and the silver in the 1,000-meter event at the 2002 Games, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Much of the attention on Ohno at the time centered on the unusual and controversial nature of his wins, while his exotic looks and bad-boy reputation made him a favorite with the fans and one of the more compelling figures to emerge from that year's Olympics.
