(Vancouver) Apolo Ohno may, according to conventional public opinion, be an even better dancer than he is a skater. Judging by his sour grapes remarks after losing the Olympic 500 he's apparently also a better whiner than dancer. Ohno is quoted as saying he was disqualified by "a Canadian referee on Canadian soil so a Canadian could win a medal". That, ladies and gentlemen, is absolute good old fashioned American bullcrap.
Ohno is clearly visible on video tape placing his hand on Canadian skater Tremblay's hip and pushing Tremblay into the mats. In Apolo Ohno's world that may be acceptable but in speed skating it is definitely against the rules.
The American tried to up his medal count by breaking the rules and he was properly disqualified. Now he is whining about it! Goodbye by Ohno, wha wha!
It's been fun but it's over and the best skater won today. Congratulations Charles Hamelin.
The Humboldt Speed Skating Club is the home of Canadian National Team, Olympic and World Cup skater William Dutton. The club is also home to several Canadian Age Class Champions and numerous Canadian medalists. Oh yeah, we claim the 'Spoon' Jeremy Wotherspoon too; he was born in the Humboldt Hospital.
