Apolo Ohno Wins Most Men's Winter Olympics Medals in History

Apolo Ohno

I unfortunately didn’t get to see this tonight, but two of the South Koreans in the 1500 m short track collided with one another, allowing Apolo Ohno to win a silver and to move past Eric Heiden to become the American male with the most medals.  He now has six medals, and he is tied with Bonnie Blair for most decorated American athlete in the Winter Olympics.  Things are looking good for Ohno, as he’s got three more races, three more opportunities to surpass Blair.  Short-track seems so luck based–one wipeout can make or break a medalist.  Still, luck seems to be with Ohno these days.
