Apolo Anton Ohno Says He's Through Competing Empty Apolo Anton Ohno Says He's Through Competing

American short-track speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno’s racing career is apparently over as of Wednesday. And while you’ll still see him at the Sochi Games next February, it will be with a mic in his hand as a correspondent for NBC.
“I think it’s pretty sure at this point [that a comeback is] not going to be,” Ohno told Sports Illustrated’s Nick Zaccardi. “It was always in the back of my head. I just didn’t want to rule it out. I’ve been very blessed, had such an amazing career, overcome a lot of obstacles in my life. It’s time to try some different opportunities.”

Oh wow, just saw this. That's too bad; I considered him one of the sport's most exciting athletes.
