Sports betting had Apollo Anton Ohno making history on Saturday as he finished third in the 1,000-meter final.He was able to get the bronze medal in the event which means he now holds the American record for most Winter Olympics medals with seven. Online sports betting had Lee Jung-su of South Korea winning the gold while teammate Lee Ho-suk won the silver.
Sportsbetting had Ohno working hard to get the bronze. “I really had to fight,” he said. “I can’t wait to watch the tape and see how I came back from last place to win bronze.” Online sportsbetting had the seventh medal for Ohno breaking a tie for most American medals that he held with long-track speedskater Bonnie Blair. Sports betting had Ohno with two golds, two silvers and three bronze medals in his three Olympics. “I’m very happy for Apolo’s accomplishment,” Blair said, “It’s a great feat for him, US Speedskating, and the United States of America. We hope that more kids will see his accomplishments and want to try our great sport that has been so good to us and taught us so much about what it takes to be successful in life.”
Online sports betting had Ohno very relived to have gotten the bronze. “When I moved up into second place, in my head I thought that the race was mine and I felt great,” he said. “Then I slipped and lost all my speed again. I saw everybody flying by me and I’m like, ‘Oh boy, there’s not a lot of time. I’m going to have to kind of crank it up.”‘
Ohno could add to his medal count as he has the 500 and 5,000 relay yet to go as sports betting indicated. Neither of those will be easy though in online sports betting, especially since the Koreans are very tough. The Koreans have no love loss for Ohno, especially after they believe he should have been disqualified in the 1,500. Sports betting had them unhappy that Ohno won gold in 2002 from Kim Dong-sung. “I wouldn’t say that anything that happened in 2002 still mattered today. That was then and this is now,” Lee Ho-suk said, “That’s not any reason for us to defeat Apolo. We will focus on the present and try to beat Apolo.”
It has been a very successful Olympics so far for the United States as they lead the overall medal count as sports betting noted. If the U.S. finishes with the most medals it would be a major sports betting upset.
