Speed skater Apolo Ohno was born in 1982 in Washington. Long before Ohno rose to fame as an eight-time medalist in the Winter Olympics, young Apolo began training full-time when he was barely a teenager, winning championship after championship until finally becoming the youngest competitor to win a World Cup event title in 2001.
Ohno entered the Olympic competition in the year following, quickly earning both the respect and love of Olympic viewers around the globe. His achievements in the Olympics that year were followed by World Cup titles in 2003, 2004, and 2005, before returning to the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, where he earned two more gold medals. Following his success, he completed his studies at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, earning a degree in business, before returning for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, this time serving as an on-air commentator.
Apolo Ohno has developed into a role model, serving as the “face” of speed skating and is often credited with popularizing the sport. Ohno seems quite comfortable with his public role, and has even pursued opportunities to further a career in the entertainment world, competing on Dancing with the Stars, serving as a guest judge on Project Runway, and appearing as a guest star on Hawaii Five-O. Ohno has also estalblished his own Apolo Anton Ohno Foundation to further a number of philanthropic causes, including those related to HIV/AIDS awareness and other infectious diseases around the globe. His foundation also promotes a healthy lifestyle and discourages underage drinking.
