i am watching the tonight show with jay leno as i write. the segment with apolo anton ohno just ended and i need to let out my energy in some way or else i won't be able to sleep.
oh my goodness, the guy is just amazing! he's so down-to-earth, funny and interesting! he brought his medals from both salt lake and torino --- five in total. an amazing feat for any athlete. he talked about his quest for the perfect race --- being able to perform as he wanted, no matter the outcome --- and how he achieved that in torino. he talked about his love for the short track, something he almost always says during his interviews. you can tell that he has this immense passion for the sport. he talked about abstaining from pizza for a year (a sacrifice he had to do as part of his preparation for the olympics) and being able to eating it to celebrate when the olympics was over. he talked about staying in the olympic village and in an offsite location and their team having an "encounter" with a ghost. it was a very fun, light-hearted interview that ended all too soon.
