He slipped in that race last night otherwise there is a pretty good chance he would have won it. He was pretty frustrated with it afterwards in the interview, but he's a pretty good sport about it.

Right. He actually showed a lot of determination in that race just to grab the bronze after that slip.

If you know the history of Ohno's medals, 7 doesn't seem like such a great number.

One might say he's underachieving, and others might say he's been extremely lucky to get some of the medals he has, but last night he EARNED that bronze. It wasn't a matter of "choking" to a bronze by any means.

Those types of races are often determined by some bumping or someone falling down. This time it didn't benefit Ohno.
