Gold Ohno! |
I took time off from studying to post about my joy for Apolo. I know my readers are tired of hearing about him, but dammit, I love him! He's so great and if I were a young athlete I'd sure look up to him--hell I'd switch over to speed skating because of him.
Anyway, (though I already knew the results) I was OVERJOYED to see Apolo win the Gold in the Mens 500m. I screamed and yelled and grinned at the TV. I couldn't get enough of looking at him skate and win. :) He took the lead, kept the lead and won over his rival. I was happy for him because I know not making the 1500m was a letdown and hurt his spirit. This was a wonderful high for him to get the day before the last day of the games.
Also, because of Ohno, the US men took Bronze in the Mens 5000m relay, when Apolo surged past Italy like a bullet. He can skate like a demon when he needs too. LOL. I'm going to miss him when he retires. *sob!*
Okay, enough gushing, back to studying. Just had to get that out of my system. YEA! APOLO! I LOVE YOU!
