Apolo Anton Ohno

By Michael V. Uschan

Credited as the face of American speed skating, Apolo Anton Ohno has done much to bring the sport out of obscurity. According to the United States Olympic Committee, Ohno holds the record for most medals won by a U.S. Winter Olympian: two golds, two silvers, and four bronze. This compelling edition provides a balanced biographical overview of Apolo Anton Ohno. Chapters discuss his childhood being raised by a single father, his decision to pursue speed skating, and his appearances at the 2002, 2006, and 2010 Winter Olympic games.
