Apolo Ohno

Thanks to this amazing skater I believe I will be watching the Winter Olympics from now on.

I was completely amazed watching this man in the 1,000 meter speed skate.

Not only is this man talented but he is also quite handsome. Though I thought that it was funny when the camera caught this skater yawning on the ice before the beginning of the race.

I am not quite sure what that was all about but I am sure that there was a purpose for it other than him being tired.

Even though during the 1,000 meter speed skate there was a slip that took Ohno from 2nd place clear back to 5th place, this amazing skater still made olympic history by becomming the most decorated athlete in American history.

I look forward to seeing more from this amazing athlete in the future.

Here is a video I found on Utube that shows Apolo on the great show dancing with the stars. Isnt he a cutie???

A friend of Ohno's – who asked not to be named because, er, "Apolo might not like it" – revealed that the yawning lets extra oxygen into his lungs in the seconds before bursting across the ice
