i know what mochi and azuki beans are (zenzai)...i'm assuming apolo likes to eat it.
i'll leave ohnoagain's connection: large field Scroll to the bottom of this link for a picture of Apolo eating mochi balls and azuki beans (in a "shaved ice" dish) in Hawaii with his host Kimo (he was in Honolulu to accept the "Victor" award for sports greats - along with Muhammed Ali in late July 2006): www.ohnozone.net/archives/2006/08/06-week/ |

Geeze, I didn't know that myself! Good facts, but bring it a little bit closer to Apolo's personal experience. Hint 1997

Inching closer! Think training. Reference: "A Journey". Where are you Daisy? I know you have Journey memorized by now!  |

Great guesses Ohnoagain! Chamonix France was where Apolo went to train in 1997. Unfortunately, since he hadn't kept up with his training that spring it wasn't a great time for him. Shortly thereafter was the 1998 Olympic trials, and we know how that turned out. Well, it's these things that make us stronger, yes? Certainly did for him! Here's a question from a much happier time: Wango Tango

I am here and I have been lurking I am just pretty doped up on Vicodin right now.
Wango Tango is the name of the event that is put on by a top radio station in LA and Apolo and Julianne danced the Samba to it.
Here is one~Colorado Springs Alliance Health Partners Optima Rehabilitation Center

Patrick Wentland was the coach who, in 1995, persuaded the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid to take Ohno even though he was too young (minimum age was 15) Colorado Springs Alliance Health Partners Optima Rehabilitation Center Got nothing. Hint? While we are waiting on the answer to that one, if you want to continue, here's mine: the movie 13 Going on 30 |

you were close it was actually before the Olympics and Olympic trials .Sounds like they really helped him out.
As for 13 going on 30 I have no idea other than maybe he has taken Allison to this movie or been to the premiere.

you mean the plot of the movie..........bratty 13 year old who treats people bad, wakes up a thirty year old and realizes how mean he was and cherishes his family and best friend and realizes how much they've stuck by him and how he cherishes and loves them despite the way he treated them and vows to make it up to them........or something like that...........
