Ohno Wins 2002-03 Short Track World Cup Title
Congratulations to Apolo for winning the 2002-03 Short Track World Cup Title! This is his second time to win the Title. More info. here and Overall World Ranking.
I am thrilled by Apolo's performance this season. His ability to come back so strongly after taking a break from skating last year is impressive. Apolo has shown great wisdom in knowing how much training he needs and knowing how to balance that with other activities in his life. We're all celebrating with you, Apolo!
