This just in: Apolo Ohno is really popular. This morning I packed up my gear and headed down to the media center for a press conference, but I didn't know what the sport was or anything. I was just about to walk in the door when it hit me, "Oh man. That's the team Apolo Ohno is on."



I got into the room just in time, as it was PACKED with cameras from every media outlet. Somehow I managed to walk up and get a perfect spot, dead on with Apolo in front of my lens.



But, my perfect scenario turned into another Tomba situation when they allowed the journalists to make a run for the athletes. Basically one hundred and fifty people crowded around Apolo Ohno, while three or four folks interviewed the other half-dozen people on the team.



I tried to get a good shot through the pack, but decided to wait until the fervor died down a bit - which is never really did.

And, eventually we caught up with him I only know him from promos and photos, but he struck me as a very professional, and somewhat humbled guy. That, and he's short.



The three of us make a pretty rad team! Apolo's super speed will come in really handy when we're fighting ninjas and laser sharks in a parallel Olympics dimension.
