MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) Apolo Anton Ohno is certainly going to the Winter Olympics. He's eager for the rest of the skating team to start preparing.
Ohno won the 1,000 meters at the short track speedskating World Cup on Sunday, beating South Korea's Lee Jung Su in the final. It was the final day of qualifying for spots at the Vancouver Games.
"I feel great and I'm really excited about the next three months we have to train," Ohno said. "We all realize now what we need to do and realize the steps we have to take to be at our best at the Games."
The announcement on which skaters will be competing in each distance will not be made until January, according to Peri Kinder of USA Speedskating.
