HVMN x Apolo Ohno Metabolize your Failure

We followed Apolo Ohno back to the place where it all started, the Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City, and for two days he relived with us the blood, sweat, and tears that made him the most decorated American in the history of the Winter Olympics.

“The catalyst that exists inside of our own psyche sometimes doesn't happen until we have loss, until we have complete utter failure, until we are on our back. How we pull ourselves back up and continue is up to us. I've gone to that dark place and I've come back out and I know what it tasted like and know what it felt like. I survived. That's an incredibly empowering feeling when you go to the start line and you know that people on both sides of you have not been there. How often did you touch the flame? Were you willing to burn alive?” - Apolo Anton Ohno
