Snowboarding and Speed skating

Shaun White, Apolo Anton Ohno, and J.R. Celski are three of my favorite athletes competing in the Olympics currently. They have been practicing ever since they were young and have unbelievable talent. Shaun White just received another gold metal recently with a score of 46.8/50.0 for snowboarding. In his voluntary second run, he received a score of 48.4/50.0. He flew so high into the air during his two runs that I don’t even know how it’s possible. In the 1500 m men’s speed skating event, Apolo Anton Ohno overtook his fellow competitors by moving from fourth place to second, earning himself a silver metal. J.R. Celski received a bronze metal. The dedication these three men put into their sport is incredible. They are so focused on doing their best and nothing can stop them. I admire them on how far they’ve come to get where they are today, especially because getting to the Olympics is no easy task.
