Actually, this is one of the best pics between him and Shani. |

Apolo looks so small in these pics next to Shani. In the second one, I notice that his blades appear to be considerably shorter in length than Shani's, which I understand from his autobiography must be due to the difference in their sizes. I do not ice skate, so I would not have noticed that were it not for reading his book. Apolo has educated me. Hahaha. Love their determined expressions in the first pic!    |

How must it be to compete against a friend? You want them to do well, but you want yourself to win. I guess you have to put the friendship on the back burner and focus on the game. That's the only way. Has anyone heard anything regarding Shani's plans for 2010? Long track? Short track? Is he going at all?

I don't know about 2010, but I read somewhere that, after making the first World Cup short track team and competing a couple of times, Shani is now back training for long track. Talented as he is, his size works against him in short track.
As far as competing against a friend, haven't you ever played games or sports against your family? It's the same thing. Everyone wants to beat everyone else, but no one holds it against anyone (except my dad and euchre--but that's another story).

I see what you mean Billie, but beating your kid brother at monopoly is a bit different from pulling a gold medal out from under him when you know he's worked as hard for it as you have. It's about the sport I guess. You go into it knowing that there's only room for one person at the top of the podium. If the friendship is genuine and strong then it should withstand whatever comes it's way.

I agree that competing for a medal is a different level of intensity, but I think you hit it with "If the friendship is genuine and strong then it should withstand whatever comes it's way."
And that's what I meant about family, too. Same feeling. More intensity.
