Apolo Ohno - Saunamen?

Watching the 500 meter races last night and thought I heard an MBC broadcaster mumble something about Apolo Ohno and saunas. I kept asking Elizabeth, "Did he just say saunas? Did he?" And she said, "I don't know." And I said, "I think he just said something about Apolo Ohno and saunas!"

Why didn't I just rewind it?! I don't know. Maybe I'll search through and see if I can find it again. But that seems like a hassle. An internet search reveals only one clue on Runner's World's site - an interview where he claims a good idea came to him while running (and not in the sauna). Which proves that he uses saunas, but suggests he doesn't get the most out of them?

Too many questions. I need answers. Maybe an exclusive interview is in order...

Where Winter Olympians Sweat it Out

One would think that there would be a lot of talk about the sauna facilities at the Winter Olympics. There isn't. Their sweat culture is shrouded in mystery. Maybe it's better that way. As it goes for champions, it goes for us: this is a personal and sacred business.

But I know you demand answers, so I offer you this: The Rec Center at the site of the Olympic Village has refurbished their saunas. They are pictured on the vancouver.ca/parks website with the following appeal:

The Saunas have been redone as part of out renovation. Please come by and check them out.
