It was seconds before the biggest moment of his career... the excitement was too much for Apolo Anton Ohno. And apparently he couldn't hold it in any longer... so he yawned, and I laughed.
People started wondering why he yawned so I looked further into it and found that a friend of Ohno's, who asked not to be named because"Apolo might not like it", revealed Ohno's secret... that the yawning lets extra oxygen into his lungs in the seconds before bursting across the ice.
Ohno himself later confirmed, "It makes me feel better. It gets the oxygen in and the nerves out."
So I'm going to try that from now on. I wonder if my teachers will be offended if I yawn at the beginning of every class!
