Early life

Ohno was born in Federal Way, Washington, to his mother Jerrie Lee and father, Yuki Ohno. He has one older half-brother.[6] His parents were divorced when Ohno was still a baby, and he was subsequently raised alone by his father. [6] Location in Washington Coordinates: , Country State County King County Incorporated 1990 Government  - Mayor Michael Park -http://www. ...


Ohno's father, a high-fashion hair stylist and owner of the salon Yuki's Diffusion, often worked twelve hour shifts, and with no family in the States, often found it hard to balance career and family.[6]


As he got older, he began to get involved in mischief and even petty delinquency. His father, concerned with a young Ohno's "free time," involved him in competitive swimming and in-line skating, and at 13 Sports Illustrated for Kids named him "Hotshot" for his skating. Despite the younger Ohno's athletic talent, he still was becoming increasingly more unruly, hanging out with older teenagers, and even twenty-somethings.[6] Inline skaters competing. ...

Career

Early career

When he was 14 years old, Ohno became interested in short-track after seeing it on television.[7] Capitalizing on this, his father drove him to meets throughout the Northwest US and Canada, and Ohno won several competitions in his age divisions.[6] However, it wasn't enough to keep Ohno from running with a rough crowd — people involved with drugs, theft and even violence.[8] Desperate, his father successfully pleaded for Ohno to be admitted into the Lake Placid Olympic Training Center to train full-time for short track, despite being too young (the center has a 15-year-old minimum age requirement).[9][6] Ohno didn't go to the Center, instead ditching the flight and disappearing with a friend for a week while making taunting calls to his father without revealing where he was. His father's pleas for him to come home, coupled with a long talk with his aunt, persuaded Ohno to return.[6] The Statue Olympic Strength outside the entrance to the Colorado Springs OTC The United States Olympic Training Centers (OTCs) are three campuses created by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) as training facilities for its Olympic and Paralympic athletes. ...


Eventually he made it to Lake Placid, as Ohno's father accompanied his reluctant son to the airport and ensured his departure. Despite conceding, Ohno's commitment to the program was low, until his teammates nicknamed him "Chunky," sparking him to train harder. In 1997, when Ohno was still only 14 years old, he became the youngest ever U.S. short-track speed skating champion. However, upon returning home to Seattle, he returned to his former ways, and soon found himself overweight and under-trained. In the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, he finished last in the trials.[6] He was devastated, and his coach doubted he would return to Lake Placid. His father, in a last ditch effort, drove his son to a remote cabin in Iron Springs, Washington, told him to think about speed-skating and what he would do with his life, and left him there for eight days (with sufficient provisions). Angry and confused, Ohno began running until blistered in the pouring rain. It was then that he realized that unless he straightened up, he would end up jail bound (or dead) like his friends.[8] The realization began his commitment to skating and dominance in the sport.[6] The 1998 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XVIII Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in 1998 in Nagano, Japan. ... Copalis Beach is a census-designated place (CDP) in Grays Harbor County, Washington, United States. ...


Four years later, Ohno was the first American to be the overall World Cup champion during the 2000-01 season and qualified for the U.S. team in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.[10] The 2002 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIX Olympic Winter Games, and with the theme slogan Light The Fire Within, were celebrated in 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. ...


2002 Winter Olympics

Olympic qualification race controversy

In December of 2001, Shani Davis traveled to Utah to race for a spot on the 2002 Winter Olympics short track team. Teammates Ohno and Rusty Smith already had slots on the six-man team due to points earned from earlier races, and Ron Biondo was a lock for the third spot. In order for Davis to qualify, he would have to actually win the final race. As both Ohno, Smith, and Biondo were also participating, Davis would have to beat the 3 best American skaters at the 1,000m. Since Ohno had been dominant in the meet to this point, winning every race he entered with ease, a win by Davis seemed to be a long shot. To complicate the event, if Biondo beat Smith in this race, he would have skated the event individually at the 2002 Winter Olympics. All three of the competitors were considered major favorites over Davis. Shani Davis (born August 13, 1982 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American speed skater who competes in both short track and long track speed skating. ... The 2002 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIX Olympic Winter Games, and with the theme slogan Light The Fire Within, were celebrated in 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. ... Rusty Smith (born December 27, 1979) is a short track speed skater from the United States who won bronze in the 500m at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and another bronze in the 5000m relay at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. ...


However, the 1,000m race would end with Ohno coming in third, Smith second and Davis at the top of the podium. In fact, prior to crossing the finish line himself, Ohno started celebrating for Davis and Smith. Davis's first place finish earned him enough points to move past Tommy O'Hare in the final point standings and to qualify for sixth place. By finishing second, Smith earned the opportunity to skate individually in the 1,000m. However, the victory celebration was short-lived, as rumors began to swirl that Ohno and Smith, both good friends of Davis's, intentionally threw the race so that Davis would win.[6] After returning to Colorado Springs, O'Hare would file a formal complaint. The complaint was founded on Ohno's seemingly deliberate attempt to stop Biondo from being able to pass Smith. By effectively removing Biondo from the competition, Smith was safe to stay in second place and allow Davis to win. For three days, Ohno, Smith and Davis stood before an arbitration panel as the United States Olympic Committee. At no time during these events did anyone accuse Davis of being at fault because he skated the race to the best of his ability and given his strengths, used the appropriate strategy. Colorado Springs is a middle-sized city, located just east of the geographic center of the state of Colorado in the United States. ...


Ohno would later confess that he subconsciously held back for fear of suddenly crashing into Davis or Smith, a common occurrence in the sport, pointing out that he didn't need to win the race because he already had a spot on the team. This reasoning was adequate for the arbitrator, but Ohno's skating indicated that he specifically wanted to slow down Biondo, had he preferred to avoid injury, he would not have competed with Biondo so fiercely.[citation needed] Additionally, he had previously won a similarly meaningless 500m race against J.P. Kepka, a race in which he was in much greater danger of being injured. Despite strong visual evidence, both claims went unproven in the arbitration case, and all three were absolved of guilt. The only chance for O'Hare's complaint to succeed was if the three competitors who overheard Smith and Ohno discussing the fix testified. Supposedly, they did not testify because it was in the best interest of the sport because if Ohno and Smith were found guilty, the appropriate punishment would have been removing them from the 2002 Olympic Team, which would almost certainly stop the U.S. Short Track Speed Skating team from winning any medals during the Olympics. It is rumored that United States Speedskating settled with O'Hare to have him drop his complaint.[citation needed]


On February 13, 2002 Sports Illustrated writer Brian Cazeneuve published an article stating that, after reviewing the race, "To this day, there is no concrete proof that any skaters violated the spirit of competition."[11] Cazeneuve would, however, also publish the comments of Outside Life Network commentator Todd Harris and 1998 Winter Olympian speed skater Eric Flaim, which were made during the broadcast of the race; both men agreed that Ohno and Smith hadn't skated at 100%.

In Salt Lake City, Utah, Ohno emerged as a popular athlete among US fans for reportedly charming them with his cheerful attitude and laid-back style. He became the face of short track speed skating in the US, which was a relatively new and unknown sport at the time, and carried the medal hopes of America in that sport.[12] Ohno medaled in two events, although there was some controversy associated with the results. 2002 Winter Olympic Games Short track speed skating. ...

In the 1000 m race, Ohno was leading the pack, however during a turn around the final corner, fellow skater Ahn Hyun Soo fell and slid across the ice, taking himself, Ohno, Mathieu Turcotte and Li Jiajun into the barriers. The single man standing was Steven Bradbury from Australia, who was trailing behind at the time, and skated through to win the gold medal, becoming the first person from the southern hemisphere to win a gold medal at a Winter Olympics. Ohno quickly got to his feet and crossed the finish line to win silver.[12] Ahn Hyun Soo (안현수, born November 23, 1985 in Seoul) is a Short track speed skating athlete from South Korea. ...

In the 1500 m race, Ohno won the gold medal, with a time of 2:18.541. During the 1500 m final race, South Korean Kim Dong Sung was first across the finish line, but was disqualified for blocking Ohno, in what is called cross tracking.[13][14] Ohno was in second place with three laps remaining, and on his third attempt to pass on the final lap, Kim drifted slightly to the inside where Ohno raised his arms and came out of his crouch to signal that he was blocked. Fourth-place finisher of the same race, Fabio Carta of Italy, showed his disagreement with the decision saying that it was "absurd that the Korean was disqualified."[15] China's Jiajun Li, who moved from bronze to silver, remained neutral saying: "I respect the decision of the referee, I'm not going to say any more."[15] Steven Bradbury of Australia, the 1000 m gold medal winner, also shared his views: "Whether Dong-Sung moved across enough to be called for cross-tracking, I don't know, he obviously moved across a bit. It's the judge's interpretation. A lot of people will say it was right and a lot of people will say it's wrong. I've seen moves like that before that were not called. But I've seen them called too."[15][16] The disqualification upset South Korean supporters, many of whom directed their anger at Ohno and the Olympic International Olympic Committee. A very large number of e-mails protesting the race results crashed the Olympic Committee's email server, and also thousands of accusatory letters, many of which were death threats, were sent to Ohno and the committee.[17][18][19] Ohno shared his thoughts on the Koreans' hostile reaction by saying, "I was really bothered by it. I grew up around many Asian cultures, Korean one of them. A lot of my best friends were Korean growing up. I just didn't understand. Later on I realized that was built up by certain people and that was directed at me, negative energy from other things, not even resulting around the sport, but around politics, using me to stand on the pedestal as the anti-American sentiment."[20] For Korea as a whole, see Korea. ...

Ohno continued to perform well in the sport after the 2002 Winter Games. Ohno declined to participate in a 2003 World Cup short track event in Korea for security reasons.[21] However, despite the absence, he successfully defended his World Cup title during the 2003 season.

At the first event of the 2005 World Cup event in China, Ohno severely sprained his ankle and withdrew from the event.[23] At the second event in South Korea, an estimated 100 riot police stood guard at Incheon International Airport to prevent any harm from coming to Ohno stemming from fears of a lingering negative reaction from the 2002 Olympic Games disqualification controversy.[24] Ohno won two gold medals, as well as the overall title at the meet despite suffering from a severe stomach illness,[25] and was surprised when the Korean crowd cheered his victories, saying, "I was really happy with the crowd's reaction. It was pretty positive right from the time we landed. I was really happy it wasn't (hostile). Everything went really smooth. We were happy."[26] However, Ohno was unable to defend his World Cup title reign from the previous three seasons, finishing third in the overall standings that year.

After two false starts from other skaters, Ohno won gold in the 500 m when he took the lead with an explosive start and held it until the finish. Despite criticism that Ohno appeared to move before the start, a violation of the rules, the race start was validated by the officials, allowing Ohno to keep his gold.[28][29]


On the same day as his 500 m gold win, Ohno earned a bronze medal in the men's 5000 m relay, with an inside pass on Italian skater Nicola Rodigari on the final leg to put the United States in third position.[29] Later, during the medals ceremony for the event, the winning South Korean team and the Americans embraced, followed by a group picture featuring the medalists.[4]

On Week 8, On May 7, 2007, Ohno danced the Tango and Paso Doble. He got a 28/30 (10,8,10) on the Tango, and a 30/30 on his Paso Doble, putting him and Hough in first place. Controversy arose when the post-tango interviewer, Samantha Harris, announced that judge Carrie Ann Inaba had actually keyed a "9" score into her computer, but had mistakenly held up the "10" paddle. Therefore, she said, Ohno's actual score was 27. Judge Inaba insisted that she had keyed a "10" into her computer. During the commercial break, the producers and judges confirmed that Inaba's computer had erroneously recorded her "10" score as a "9." When this was corrected, Ohno's official score for the tango was recorded as a 28. On May 14, they had a 59 as a total score.
