In our next edition of Asian American Sports with Rick Quan, we feature an interview with Japanese American Olympian Apolo Ohno, the most decorated short track speed skater in history. This superstar has won 8 Olympic medals, is the winner of the fourth season of reality dance competition Dancing with the Stars, and keeps busy by participating in charities and commercial work. Hear how he almost lost his dream at the age of 15, the most influential person in his life, and his life philosophy both on and off the track.
