Apolo Anton Ohno

On Tuesday, March 16, 2010 - I took a well deserved day off from work to take part in a commercial that Apolo Anton Ohno (the most decorated Winter Olympian) was doing for a nutrition supplement company called the 8zone. When it air's you might see me in it as part of the crowd.
I got to the Oval a little after 11:30 am. Someone there, thought I was their daughter Cindy. I thought it was cool because my name is Mindy. We waited for like a half hour for things to get started - I mingled with other's who had taken the day off as well (we know how to have fun). Then the Producer told us what we needed to do and everyone was so excited!!! When Apolo appeared we were suppose to chant "Apolo" in unison.
We kept not being all together- and had to start over - So Apolo had to keep going back up the stairs to do it again - That was funny! Then they interviewed Apolo about how importance it is to stay active and be healthy. After that we all got in a line for his autograph and a picture. Which I was the last group to get both and you also had to have a stamped star on your hand to get it. Apolo is soo nice He asked me how I was doing and I said great! He said good! So simple but it was totally awesome!!!!:D

Can we say his name in unison this time???

"If I have given my all and still do not win, I haven’t lost.
Others might remember winning or losing;
I remember the journey."
