What could be Apolo Anton Ohno's last Olympic races, he began in the Men's 500 M. He would manage his way to the finals with some dominating performances. However in the final he would fall behind early and never really recover. He would try to pass Francois-Louis Tremblay of Canada but Tremblay would fall because of a push from Apolo. Apolo would be disqualified as a result and Tremblay would take the Bronze instead. Meanwhile Charles Hamelin of Canada took gold and Si-Bak Sung of Korea took silver.
Apolo would then participate in the Men's 5000 M relay. Team USA was in fourth for most of the race until near the end Apolo made his move and managed to get the USA Bronze. Korea would grab Silver and Canada would take Gold.
This might be the end of Apolo's Olympic career. He'll almost be 32 by the time the Winter games come back and he has had a good career both Olympic and regular anyway. He has a total of 8 Medals, two of which are gold. If this is it, I will miss Apolo. He has given me a reason to care for the Winter Olympics.
P.S. My interest for Curling only goes so far.
