[Rawr27sucks]

fuck all of you who think ohnos a cheater have you seen the south koreans ohnos a saint compared to them every once in a while he puts his had out to make sure he doest die but rarley does he ever interfeare

[lilcez3]

Y the fuhk did he get DQ'd?

[Mikeiea2]

He didnt do anything if he had pushed him the guy woulda fell hes being curtiouse and not scareing the shit outta the guy infront of him when he passes him up.

Apolo Ohno isn't a dirty skater at all. He will tap someone in front of him to let them know he's comin If you watch ALL of the Short Track races with other players and not only focus on Apolo, you'd see that the majority of them all do the same thing. He's just really good and knows how to get around people. ALL skaters tap each other from behind to throw them off. It's a method they all use. Like basketball, you put your hands in the players face to distract them from making a successful pass.

Fuckin Ohno.

He fouls many times to win.

[corycb2003]

ya well anton was on his way to win a gold medal when some guy from behind him was falling and grabbed him and pulled him down with him.. most of these guys are dirty any way

[jenny8031]

He is famous player and Olympic medalist.

But he is playing dirty.

Everybody knows that.

He disturbing other players all the time.

[zoe5683]

ono is not a fair player. he often pushes other runners that comes from his behind. i cannot believe that americans still treat him like a hero, after seeing the video him pushing others. obvious mean moments.

[iiceGabii]

Aw man it's too bad that Apolo got DQ. lol I love your "And gold medalist. Why don't they say that?" Thanks so much for all of your ST vids! I really appreciate them.

[InnerTube1953]

Hi Andrew - I've watched this many times. It's just wonderful poetry in motion. I especially love the slo-mo version with the background score, too. I hope you're going to be there again next weekend for the World's in SLC (Feb 8-10) recording more of this great stuff. Thank you!

[20elle07]

THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO! Thanks so much, Andrew. The slo-mo was just great! Hope you make more like it. Videos like yours will make more people appreciate the excitement and athletic beauty of short track.

DQ? I didn't know close passing was illegal in short track.

[andrewlove1971]

yes, and the artistry of these amazing athletes is so clear when you slow-mo the video, and can see how incredible those turns are...

[NorthwestMama]
