Rhonda Schaffler, CNNfn Anchor, Market Call: "We'll go quickly back to the New York Stock Exchange. Amanda has a guest with her. Amanda"
Amanda Lang, CNNfn Correspondent: "I do have a guest, a very special guest. Olympic gold medalist Apolo Anton Ohno and with us, his dad, Yuki Ohno. Appreciate you both being here. I'm acutally going to go through the list of achievements here because it's pretty important. Nineteen-year-old Apolo, Rhonda, was the youngest American to win a World Cup, gold medalist at the age of 19 and just named one of the 50 Most Beautiful People by 'People' magazine. Let's start there, how does that feel?"
Apolo: "That was amazing. I was flattered when they told me about that. We had to keep it a little secret for a while, but I'm just so happy to be recognized as something like that, you know, other than my sport. So that was incredible for me."
Lang: "And the Olympics, had you always thought, planned, hoped that would happen or was that something that happened in the last few years? You're only 19, how long could you have been planning it, I guess?
Apolo: "About five years ago. It takes a good four, five years of serious training to be able to reach that world class level. I was happy to have the opportunity and the talent. So I'm very, very grateful."
Lang: "What is next for you, other than turning 20 on May 22nd?
Apolo: "A lot more appearances, events. Probably start training again. I have six international World Cups a year. So the fun never stops for me. Just been crazy, a whirlwind the past couple of months."
Lang: "We have your dad here. I want to ask you, Mr. Ohno, how does it feel to have a son of 19 who is not only a gold medalist but one of the most beautiful people in America?"
Yuki: "It is just fantastic. It is just so great."
Lang: "Are you surprised by him?"
Yuki: "In many ways, yes, yes. Always he surprises me. Always.
Lang: "Maybe he will continue to surprise us all. We look forward to seeing what you do next."
Apolo: "Thanks."
Lang: "Thank you for being here, Apolo and Mr. Ohno."
