Ohno didn?t complain, and we should all take note of that. He called it the best race of his life, and he accepted what happened, because if he didn?t, he wouldn?t be in short-track.


i'm not sure if i fully agree with the article, but i think he has some valid points... and he's right, apolo did show remarkable class, imho. i know i would have been po'ed, but he was up there smiling :)

just goes to show, us seattlelites got class :D

Short track speed-skating is a highly volatile event. These skaters have learned to deal with the ups and downs of the sport.

Definitely, just like the Canadian figure skaters...I never heard a complaint from them--just the media and the public...

That columnist sounds like a pr|ck

People are upset, let them be upset. If it's still a few days after and people are saying it was fixed or anything, then the attitude he had in that article would be warranted.
