It's Every Day

Ohno had been waiting for his moment to shine for several years. He left home at age 14 to train at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, N.Y. While he had to leave his father for the first time, it also gave him the needed experience to break loose and become one of the world's premier short track skaters.
