| Will Apolo Ohno return in 2014? Posted by Marciano1 He said on NBC yesterday that he has to make a decision by Thursday. He said his teammates want him back but he's unsure if he wants to commit to the hard training over the next 18 months.  on 8/13 at 5:37 pmMost decorated American Winter Olympian. Sort of a "Michael Phelps" of short track speed skating. Reply • Back to Top |

| I am sorry I don't Apolo ohno. No body should ever have a soul patch. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Not saying he's on the Michael Phelps level. No one is. I'm saying he's the most decorated American athlete in the Winter Olympics. He's won a lot of medals in the Winter games so he's the face of those like Phelps is for the Summer games. Reply • Back to Top |
| That little hipster doofus is more decorated than Bonnie Blair? (5 Gold, 1 Bronze - all individual) Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by Master of Sinanju on 8/13 at 6:51 pm to Zamoro10 Ohno has 8 - 2 gold, 2 silver, 4 bronze.Reply • Back to Top |
quote:Most by an American winter Olympian and tied for 78th all time. Not bad. He's only one behind the most decorated speed skater, Claudia Pechstein (5,2,2). However, he's 4 behind the most decorated Winter Olympian, cross-country Bjorn Daehlie (8,4,0), and I'm not sure Ohno could get all the way to Bjorn with the volatility of Short track. But....Phelps is a (9,1,1) ratio guy. Not even in the same league. Reply • Back to Top |
| he said yesterday he's "50/50" i.e. he has no fricking idea Reply • Back to Top |

quote:while i concur that phelps is the greatest olympian of all time, his sport has so many more opportunities to medal than most. i dont know how many events apollo onoz does but im sure its not as many as phelps This post was edited on 8/17 at 5:18 pm Reply • Back to Top |
