Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno is a human rocket on ice. He has the speed, the sculpted body and the name of a Greek god. And even though he wasn't named after the god of the sun (his first name is the literal Greek translation for "look out, here he comes"), Apolo is revered in the world of short track speedskating. He has collected Olympic gold, three world titles and seven national championships.
In Torino, he secured a gold medal in the 500 meters and the bronze in both men's 1000m and 5,000-meter relay. The young heartthrob with model hair and hip soul patch has come a long way since he was called "Chunky" as a kid.
