Golden Moments Speech

[epiphaniii]

Thank you to Lego for posting these in Lori's "San Diego" thread.

These videos are of Apolo's speech at the Golden Moments charity dinner to benefit the scholarship fund of the Salvation Army Kroc Center in San Diego. They are from Maria Garcia, a devoted fan who has shared many other videos of Apolo and the US Short Track team on YouTube as well.

Also, this was posted here before but for those who have not seen it yet, you might enjoy Maria's "Interacting Between Competitions" video from last March in Italy. (link below)

The conversation she has with Apolo is great. As they part, he extends the conversation longer than she seems to expect, which is nice. I also like how she ends the clip. Apolo is "a very photogenic individual," indeed.

Thanks, epiphaniii, for posting these here. It makes them easy to find!

Here is another one from MariaGarcia. It is very short and has just a few seconds of him at the table, before or after his speech. It also has a little bit of some children on the ice at the speech.

Thank you both for posting these here. That's another great clip from the night, Callie. Maria is braver than I'd be to have the camcorder stuck on him almost the whole evening. LOL Thank God for her!
