Skater bemused by Koreans

? Speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno wasn’t surprised that South Koreans still carry a grudge over his gold medal at the Winter Olympics. He just wishes they’d improve their form a bit.

When Ahn Jung Hwan scored South Korea’s tying goal against the United States late in Monday’s World Cup match, he celebrated by swinging his arms like a speedskater in what was called an “Ohno ceremony.” Several teammates joined in.

South Koreans remain bitter over Ohno’s winning a gold medal at the Salt Lake City Games after Kim Dong Sung was disqualified. Ohno said it was “unfortunate that they’re lingering on something that wasn’t even my decision.”

He also aid Ahn needs practice on ice.

“I was looking at the guy, and he doesn’t even have good technique,” Ohno said. “He’s got to sit lower, keep his shoulder straight.”
