The first picture is from the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. The next picture is a recent picture from the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
I was watching the Winter Olympics last night and fortunately caught Apolo Ohno's preliminary and final race in the 1500 meter short track speed skating event. He won the silver medal for this race, his 6th medal. This ties him with Bonnie Blair for most medals at the Winter Olympics for an American athlete. To date he has won two gold, two silver, and two bronze medals. Ohno still has the opportunity to win three more medals in these Games at Vancouver.

I was hoping Ohno would win, but South Korea's Lee Jung-Su took the gold medal. Ohno looks to be in much better shape than in the 2006 Winter Games. He has lost 20 pounds and now weights 145 with 2.5% body fat. He has said, "...I know, from a physical training standpoint, nobody's even close... I've never prepared like this in my life — for anything. I want to leave nothing on the table."
