  • He sounds like a giant douche

  • oh my god, I am not a speed skater but the training is insane!!! you will die every time and it looks awesome!!

  • 2:40 for endless laughs. I love u apolo still.

  • Really muscular legs

  • @TheLethalWeapon97 While I agree that speed skating is very hard, you do NOT train ten time harder than football/soccer players. It's about the same. They bust their asses also.

  • Ohno is half-Japanese, half-caucasian??? I thought he was Spanish this entire time. I play soccer (and almost every other sport out there) and I've started getting into speed skating ever since I watched the 2010 winter olympics in Vancouver. And man it's exhausting skating laps. Probably the most favourite activity for me of all sports now is speed skating since I love speed. I'm a speed junkie...speed demon.

  • We've had some of our skaters cross train with speed skaters and their input and work ethic is incredibly valuable.

  • I Love The Video TIMEs Sean Gregory learns how Apolo Ohno is preparing for Vancouver, but catching Apolo on-camera as he whizzes by at 40 mph is a challenge It Can Increase My Knowledge

  • those calfs are nasty as fuck

  • Lol, speedskaters are a bunch of pussies.

  • Ooo stairs...I can only relate doing football stadium stairs were the worst thing I hated about training close to bear crawls up a hill...This guys are tough! Weight Watchers has nothing that a Speed Skater could train the fat away.

  • His goatee is annoying the shitfuck out of me.

  • I love watching Apolo train, he is down right amazing. The discipline to get to that level is hardcore.

  • Phoww, I'd be worried about overtraining like this... I'm a runner and speed skater and had waaaay too many stupid injuries by pressing too hard. Hopefully he knows his own body's limits!

  • @gvsgaius i understand you sooooooo much! same thing happened to me... but i'm gonna start over in 2 weeks and i hope this time will be the one!

  • i wish i had his legs!

  • I am a speed skater aswell, and it pisses me off when people laugh about it. We train ten times harder than football or soccer. Speed skating FTW!!!

  • @TheLethalWeapon97 agreed with that! football players got nothing on us! ;)

  • @TheLethalWeapon97 Longtrack dutch skater here. I approve so hard with you!

  • @TheLethalWeapon97 i can't even ice skate never mind skate with speed. I think speed skating should be highly repected

  • @TheLethalWeapon97 hey you cant say you train harder than other sports, you just train different from other sports

  • am a skater too, he has the perfect way to train urself

  • In some of the meets I am in he still holds records. And the guy who made his boots lives across the street fro me.

  • my coach knew apollo when he was a kid

  • It's a moving art form

  • hey hey! Have you considered intellectus 424 diet (do a google search)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate lost a lot of weight with it.

  • Swimming and Speedskating are both awesome sports :]

  • @ilovesushi1011 YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD

  • damn those sexy legs!

  • its soo cool is saw him at a restant and he was with someone my aunty knew and we gota take a picture with him!

  • 26 of them are training long track :P

  • Apolo use to come to my school sometimes when i was little it was sooo cool i only saw him twice though

  • "synchronicity" - lol

  • 3:40 hahaha is that hardstyle i hear on a hardstyle video? any1 know what the track is called?

  • 3:5 6= HOLY JEEZUZ

  • 3:56= HOLY JEEZUZ

  • I train like that... haha but only once a day...

  • Simonnnn!

  • It's turn cable. Actually. At least in New York, where the cool skaters are.

  • @LifeIsNeverEasy549 i am in new york and i skate!! haha

  • @xXBloweyXx Maybe you should watch curling then.

  • i just heard today he hops up the incline in colorado on one leg once than the other than both... thats hard as hell

  • 1:40

  • 5:47

  • @xXBloweyXx  ok what ever don't hate becouse you are not as him..........

  • Im a speed skater too. Its probably one of the hardest sports in the world. It also takes the most conditioning and training.

  • I am a speed skater its harder then it looks !!!!!!!

  • @birdboy10 i agree

  • @birdboy10 Im a hockey skater. got the power in the legs. want to be a speed skater. can you give me tips for equipment. height, weight, foot size requirements?

    

  • @birdboy10 I can't believe people actually think this sport is easy. For me it looks very hard due the laws of physics. Incredible sport, though.

  • @birdboy10 i know right, i have friends that play baseball and stuff and they are all like, speed skatigs not a sport. im all like, yes it is, and they train 3 times harder then you guys.

  • the 23 who hate cant skate..........

  • SUPERHUMAN!

  • All of this is a very good video. On instantskate,com there are usually nice videos.

  • NORTHERN MICHIGAN!! woooooooo ya.

  • He's got some shit on his chin

  • daaaaammmmmnnnnnnn he's fine!

  • lol i like his lega

  • if i had his legs, i would sprawl on brock lesnar like nothing

  • Damn - those stairs are making my knees hurt - just looking at 'em!

  • What does Apollo say at 1:11 ??

    [....] is like one of the most important parts of short-track.

    Please help me!!

  • @CANONifyYourLife "equipment is like one of the most important parts of short-track" so true!

  • i met him on Rodeo Dr at D&G :D we took a picture :P

  • All of that 3 times a day?? That's ridiculous!

  • I saw him at Barnes and Noble!! :D

  • @TessicaWillistick I did too! He is AMAZING! :D <3

  • @huzzahskateboarding Cool! Yes he sooooo is! :D

  • no one trains like a speed skater does...8)

  • I am absolutely amazed by the intensity of their workouts!

  • Meh brother can do that! im working on getting better.

  • Boom if I can fit in that hole i will.

  • the first 6 minute video i've watched without skimming through.

  • to be honest, he never really won a clean victory in vancouver.. he pushed and held on to the koreans

  • @hockeyworker03 its simple math, you can calculate the distance and time it took, and convert it to mph its simple statistics, if you don't believe me go get a radar gun, nobody tops 35 guaranteed. long track they barely could get 40, and thats even for maybe a few seconds

  • training is one hard thing but it pays off. If you look at this and think its easy, you are so wrong.

  • Hellooooo Lover <3

  • saw him at the ATL airport yesterday

  • @renegadeking4

    REALLY? did you DIE? I would have swooned :)

  • SIMON CHO

  • I've speed skated for about 5 years, and I'll tell you short trackers do not go 40 mph, not even close, even the world record pace barely brake 30 mph, average about 27mph

  • @sk8terguy79 most likely he got that number not from the short track racers but from the long tracks. He never specified that it was short track that goes 40. It made it seem more impressive that way without completely lying. Thats just my guess.

  • @sk8terguy79 umm, yea they do i speed skate too

    they can go 40

  • @mariamariekim i do short track and ya we can get to over 40 KILOMETRES per hour, but not miles...miles per hour id be suprised to see someone hit above 30

  • @sk8terguy79 i speed skate tooo :D im in my 9th year lol do you do short track or long track?

  • i think that too (what he was talking about at 2:20) im a hockey player. and i weave through people and think of routes in less that half a second.

  • @snipergecko1 ive been speed skating for 5 years,im on the sprinters speed team in tennessee

  • "if I can fit in that hole, I will"

    me too.

  • @CBH621 looooool

  • @CBH621 lmao!!!

  • @CBH621 i believe roethlisberger said the same thing...

  • @CBH621 thats what she said

  • @CBH621 ROFL!

  • boom if i can fit in that hole i will XD

  • he is SO athletic and SO HOT :O

  • wow this makes me love the sport even more. i hope to be there some day. <3!!

  • he has to be the HARDEST working guy in the world, and as a result, also the greatest in every way. look at that face! jeez! he's melting me! <3xinfinity!

  • what kind of protection do they wear on their ankles. if any im sure

  • @Ajmasterb12 some wear ankle protection, but you'll find alot that dont.

  • Short Track speed skaters are Amazing!!! I am seriously in awe!

  • 2:46 Thats what she said ;)

  • Apolo is a beautiful thing.

  • smoking forever : )

    HOT APOLO

  • lol i love how he can say anything and some random guy sitting on his couch will believe it... "we're actually skating on water not ice." hmmm? really

  • whats the name of the song at 3:50

  • @STICKERS392 its called "Hardstyle" by french DJ Laurent Lombard. :)

  • @ilovelarca how could he be a cheater if he train so hard??

  • @ilovelarca Hi there. Even though I'm an outsider to this sport, just being a fan, I can understand the rivalry between Koreans and Americans especially Apollo. However I would like to think that underneath all those feelings of contempt you love your sport more. Maybe instead of focusing on these negative feelings you could choose to focus on the positive ones toward your sport, your coach and yourself perhaps? Maybe it's something to think about? I'm sorry if I've stepped over the line.

  • what song is playing @ 1:32 ?? <3 apolo ohno and j.r. celski! :]

  • "If I can fit into that hole, I will."

    Lolz.

  • @gemgem92 You know what? You have your right to your own opinions, but thats just rude. He is happy that he won bronze because he is thankful. Not because " he cant beat the Koreans.... PS anyone can beat anybody if they try hard enough.

  • apolo is so inspiring! major respect for how humble and hardworking he is despite such talent. awesome :)

  • TRAVIS JAYNER at the beginning!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥ haha him and Apolo and sooo muscular o.o

  • o gawd he is yummy! that is a LOT of work! i no i couldn't do that

  • I love AAO! Every year, I sit on my couch at home and cheer him on with my mother! We love him so so so so sooooo much! I want to go to the winter olympics to watch them some year. I don't care very much for the summer olypics though...

  • The great Eric Heiden trained this way years ago.I don't know if Apolo had to run 15 miles a day like Eric did.

  • apolo ohno is obiously the BEST hero you could ever have!

  • hehe 2:43

  • @fleek164 actually 2:40

  • I love to watch these people try for the first time! Heck, I'd be worse than the man they just showed

  • was that jayner with ohno in the beginning?

  • @whitewave489 Yes!

  • @imnotbncre8ive

    too bad he disqualified on Vancouver. hehehee.
