| Right: Look at how cute Apolo's smile is! This is him after finding out that he did, indeed, win the men's 1,500m medal. Goddamit, he's just got so much charm and charisma. :o) |
| Is it just me and my twisted little mind, but can't you see Apolo's...ahem...cup (if you know what I mean) in this picture! And, ha ha, those Korean skaters are trying to get a peek at it! I guess they want to see if they *measure up!* <evil smirk> |

| WHAT A GORGEOUS BUTT! HA HA! |
| I never really was into the Winter Olympics, especially this year with all the ice skating controversy. But once my mom told me, "Hey look, Logan, there's a really cute boy that's about to compete," I was hooked. I watched Apolo fall, and almost get a taste of gold in the 1000m that night. I've been hooked on him since then. |
