Quotes by Apolo
"The difference between first place and fifth is all in strategy and mental edge."
"I can't ask for more than two medals, that's for sure," he said Saturday. "It was definitely the best experience of my life -- coming to the Olympics and performing so well. I'm definitely happy."
"I believe I did an excellent job. So many people supported me, all my friends and family and the fans, and that's just an unbelievable feeling. My first Games and I got two medals. There's nothing better than that."
"I was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to pass. The Japanese guy was wide on the corner and I came up on him. I barely touched him. He's so light, I think he was going down already."

cloudystar and icystarlight, and adopted by kennedette on March 6, 2006 after abandonment from the previous owners. It is currently maintained by tanwen as of April 8, 2006.COMMUNITY RULES:
1.) Be a fan of Apolo. This means NO BASHING. Honestly, if you need to search out fan communities to bash someone online, you should probably find a hobby. :]
2.) Be respectful. No bashing/threatening Apolo's girlfriend (Allison Baver), any of Apolo's friends, or anyone that (dare I say it) wins over Apolo in sporting events. Also BE RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER, we're all here for the same reason - no need to be nasty.
3.) If posting pictures larger than 200x200, or several pictures, place them BEHIND a cut. (Don't know how to cut? Read about it here!)
4.) Please keep it PG-13. Apolo appeals to a wide variety of people, and all are welcome here.
5.) Feel free to promote Apolo-related communities ONLY, all others will be deleted & marked as spam.
6.) Please put all race results behind a cut and clearly label them as such.
And most of all, enjoy!
