Apolo Ohno's speed ice skates
2002
worn in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah
Maintaining traditional values can be difficult for recently arrived families in the United States. Like many immigrant children, Apolo Ohno rebelled against his Japanese-born father's strict, traditional ways. But his father's guidance helped Ohno become the most decorated American winter Olympian, credited with popularizing the sport of short-track speed skating. |
