...it looks like we have another Oz member to corrupt here. LOL Welcome! Lexi, y'all have given it a mighty effort, I must say - I can't speak for the rest of the 'hooligans', but I believe I've resisted temptation and maintained proper decorum (okay, well maybe not 'all' of the time)... ...be afraid, Christi, be VERY afraid...  (actually, I've probably been 'naughtier' on OZ than I have been here - back in those innocent, 'newbie' first months when I didn't know any better! - okay, well, I'm STILL like that I guess)  I just wonder sometimes what they think of me when I get diarrhea of the mouth and 'post' without the ability to 'edit'... *blush* BTW, Lexi - whooooo is that gyrating, pulsating, rotating guy in your siggie - I was mesmerized for a full minute (or so). |

I beg to differ, my dear. I was a meek and mild little poster when I first came here...full of purity and innocence....then you became my board mentor...and now I'm as currupted as the rest here.  BTW, Lexi - whooooo is that gyrating, pulsating, rotating guy in your siggie - I was mesmerized for a full minute (or so). Why that would be Mr. JD Fortune - lead singer for INXS and a fellow Nova Scotian. This is only but a small taste of the sex appeal we Nova Scotian's have!  |

Welcome bcmama & christi I hope you are both enjoying yourselves here. Kudos to christi for having more nerve to come over from OZ to be corrupted by us than I have to post at OZ. (I just lurk- I may be already too corrupted for that site----- it's all lexi's fault....)  |

Thanks for the welcomes from y'all..... Athletic training--I mean the sports medicine kind of athletic training. My degree is in sports medicine. So I dealt more with injuries and keeping athletes healthy, not so much the physical training aspect. And now I'm a stay-at-home mama, so not much chance to use my degree  . I just finished reading Apolo's book, and when I read that he'd dislocated both kneecaps.......I was freaking out! That's supposedly one of the most painful injuries you can have. |

about all the physical abuse apolo places on his body with his rigid training and countless competitions...not so much now but how it will affect him 10-15 years from now. knee injuries can be very tricky too! i hope you don't have to use your degree at home  ...and i'm very happy that you can be a stay-at-home mom...
as long as the family can afford to, it's the best. |

Hey everybody! This is my first post on GA.com (or any site for that matter)...I'm happy to be here! Like I said...it's my first post on pretty much any fansite MB so I'm a little shy, but here's a little about me:
My name is Karen...I'm from northern California and I'm a sophomore in HS. I started speedskating about 6 months ago! I'm a member of the NCSA (Northern California Speedskating Assoc.) and I do inline skating every day that I can't get on the ice. I got into the sport (obviously) by way of Apolo in 2002. I wanted to try ST back then but I was only 9 around the time of the Olympics and I was into tennis...so when 2006 rolled around and I'm a little older now I started looking for a place to speedskate and found the NCSA. I've progressed a lot...I love the sport!! I love the feeling of quickly gliding over the ice...it's amazing!!!
Anyways...I've been a huge Apolo fan since the beginning- 2002 (eventhough I was only 9, lol). I think I was one of the first people to get his autobiography...got it the day it came out! It's definately in the Top 5 list of books for me...it's so powerful and inspiring (esp. considering he was only 19-20 around the time he wrote it). In 2006 I again loved watching him race and receive his medals. I had never seen DWTS before he went on and I have to say-what a time to start watching! He was amazing on the show...still haven't watched it at all this year- no one can top Apolo!
Overall...I appreciate Apolo not for his killer good looks or medals, but for his attitude towards everything and because he makes an amazing role model. He's a humble, big hearted, goal oriented, hardworking athlete that always gives 110% towards anything he does. He is (and always will be) my hero!
