Ohno grabs 8th career Olympic medal in relay
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) Apolo Anton Ohno held up eight fingers, smiled and basked in the cheers from the crowd on the final night of his so-called "home" Olympics.
The 27-year-old short track skater from Seattle - just a few hours away from the games - bounced back from a disqualification in the 500 meters Friday night to anchor the United States to a bronze medal in the 5,000 relay.
Ohno claimed his eighth Olympic medal to extend his own record as the most decorated short track skater and U.S. Winter Olympian.
