The author E.J. Maxwell who wrote extreme sports cutting edge is a good author. He got a lot of information about Apolo Anton Ohno. He says Apolo is one of the most daring people in the world. That must be amazing.
Apolo Ohno is the character in the book. It is interesting to here about him in the book. about how much work and training and time it took for him. He dedicated himself to train for the Olympics.
In the book cutting edge Apolo is sent to the air port to go train for the Olympics. The first time he went he was thirteen. But at the air port he ran home to be with his family. Then two years past he went back and stayed by force. He trained for the Olympics.
At the end he kept working and trying so hard and a lot. He didnt get to see his family a lot. That would be really hard.
