Familiar Story: Ohno vs. the Koreans

Apolo Anton Ohno, who won a controversial gold in this race at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, returns as one of the favorites in 2006. He probably will be challenged by South Korean skaters Ahn Hyun-Soo, winner of the last three world championships in this event, and Lee Ho-Suk, 19, a rising star.
