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. To watch more videos, check out: http://www.time.com/olympics
@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.
@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.
oh my god, I am not a speed skater but the training is insane!!! you will die every time and it looks awesome!!

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