Simon Cho – Speed Skating

Simon Cho, at 18, is the youngest member of the Olympic Team who actually gave up skating in January 2009 after a disappointing speedskating season. After thinking it through, Cho decided to skate at the 2010 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, but he had no idea he would make the team. At the trials, Cho won a 500m event, securing a spot on the team in Vancouver.
Cho started skating when he was 3 years old in Seoul, South Korea. After moving to the United States when he was 5, Cho continued skating at several clubs until connecting with Jimmy Jang (USS National Assistant Coach) who has coached Cho for nearly a decade.
