Apolo Ohno finally won his first Gold at these Winter Games by taking the Men’s 500m Short Track event.

All competitors were so pumped up for the ‘Superbowl’ of the Short Track event that there were two false starts. But as soon as the race started, Apolo clawed his way to an early lead in the first corner and was uncatchable.

Still fresh from the adrenaline-rush in the previous event, Apolo had a decided advantage in the ensuing Men’s Relay Short Track event. Ohno was battling neck-to-neck with Canada first, but soon slipped to third place behind his arch-nemesis South Korea.

The Italians in forth place gave the Americans a run for their money. Leads were change many times between the Americans and Italians. In the last couple of rounds, with America trailing, Apolo closed the deficit with an aggressive burst of energy as he sailed past the Italian skater.

At that point, Canada and South Korea were too far ahead for Ohno to catch.
