Zoutou | The Gift
Zoutou | The Gift: After the recent success of the In Apolo's Name project, it was shown that Apolo fans can make a difference by supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Zoutou | The Gift strives to allow Apolo's dedicated fans to continue to support these charities. No better place to make a difference than in Salt Lake City, UT, the city that will always mean something special to him. [More info.]

Are you interested in attending the short track World Cups to be held in Calgary and Marquette later this year? If so, there are two Yahoo!Groups that you can join to find more information:
For Calgary, Alberta, Canada, October 17 - 19, 2003:
World Cup # 1 - Calgary Planning Group.
For Marquette, Michigan, USA, October 24 - 26, 2003:
World Cup # 2 - Marquette Planning Group.

Watching short track live is very exciting. If you have the chance to attend a World Cup, I definitely recommend that you do!

A gold-medal winner in the 1,500 meters and silver-medal winner in the 1,000 at the 2002 Winter Olympics, Ohno is in Orlando, Fla., on Sunday to accept the 2002 Citizenship Through Sports Alliance Award, which the United States Olympic Committee will present for the sportsmanship he has demonstrated." [Read the full interview here.]
