Apolo Ohno won the silver medal in the men’s 1500m Short Track speedskating event, held at the Pacific Coliseum.

Lee Jung-Su (South Korea) won the gold medal, J.R. Celski (USA) took the bronze medal. In the last turn, Apolo took advantage of the fall of the 2 Koreans in front of him. I don’t care what you say, he deserved it. Falling and such is all part of the game in this sport, and just because the two guys in front of him fell doesn’t mean that Apolo did not deserve to medal. Besides, how could you deny someone who is so adorable a medal in the first place? Heh.

BTW what kind of swamp flower is he holding?! That’s the best they could do for bouquets? Hmm..
