Apolo Ohno to be inducted into U.S. Speedskating Hall of Fame

Apolo Ohno, the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian with eight medals, will be inducted into the U.S. Speedskating Hall of Fame on May 13.

“This incredible sport has taught me so much, and to be associated with a special group of legends like this is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life,” Ohno said in a press release.

Ohno earned gold and silver at Salt Lake City 2002, gold and two bronze at Torino 2006 and silver and two bronze at Vancouver 2010, his final competition.

Ohno announced his retirement in 2013 at age 30 and has since worked as an analyst for NBC Olympics while also starting the Apolo Ohno Invitational short track competition.
