                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing and congratulating Apolo Anton Ohno for his historic 
 performances in short track speed skating at the 2002, 2006, and 2010 
 Olympic Winter Games and congratulating him for winning more Olympic 
          Winter Games medals than any other American athlete.

Whereas short track speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno was born on May 22, 1982, in 
        Seattle, Washington;
Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno's father, Yuki Ohno, a single, Japanese-American 
        parent, never wavered in the support he gave, the sacrifices he made, 
        and the inspiration he provided to help his son Apolo realize the dream 
        of competing in the Olympic Winter Games;
Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno, at the age of 27, is an eight-time Olympic Winter 
        Games medalist, winning two gold, two silver, and four bronze medals in 
        short track speed skating;
Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno has won more Olympic Winter Games medals than any other 
        American athlete;
Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno, just 19 years old at the time, won the gold medal in 
        the 1,500 meters and the silver medal in the 1,000 meters at the 2002 
        Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah;
Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno's gold medal in the 500 meters, bronze medal in the 
        1,000 meters, and bronze medal in the 5,000 meters relay gave him three 
        medals at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy, and at the time 
        made him only the fourth American athlete to win three medals at a 
        single Olympic Winter Games; and
Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno's silver medal in the 1,500 meters, bronze medal in the 
        1,000 meters, and bronze medal in the 5,000 meters relay gave him three 
        medals at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes and 
congratulates Apolo Anton Ohno for--
            (1) his historic performances in short track speed skating 
        at the 2002, 2006, and 2010 Olympic Winter Games; and
            (2) winning more Olympic Winter Games medals than any other 
        American athlete.
