Who is Apolo Anton Ohno?
Short track speed skater, Gold and Silver Olympic medalist. Peruse the site for more information!
Do you know Apolo? Have you met him?
I don't know Apolo on a personal basis. I did meet him at the World Cup held in Salt Lake City in February 2003. He is just as nice and gracious as I thought he would be.
When did you start the AAO Portal?
February 28, 2002. Back then, the site was only one page. It's been growing ever since.
Why did you start the AAO Portal?
I'd written about Apolo in my weblog, eclectica, and received hundreds of hits from people looking for information on him. My guestbook was inundated with entries from people saying how much they liked him. Some of them actually thought I knew Apolo, even though I'd never said anything like that.
Since I was interested in Apolo, anyway, and people seemed so desperate for information on him, I started compiling all the articles/interviews and pictures of him that I found and put them together on one page.
Why did you pick the title "AAO Portal" for this site?
I never meant for my site to be a community, like the Ohno Zone. My site is meant to be a jumping off point or opening to all things Apolo, a portal. Of course, I want you all to come back, though! :)
