7 Comments

His name is J.R. (short for John Robert) Celski, a Filipino-American, born in Monterey California to a polish father Bob and a Filipina mother Sue. He is with the U.S. team and recently won a bronze medal in the 1500m short track speed skating with fellow American skater Apolo Ohno winning the silver medal yesterday at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Canada. This is Celski’s Olympic debut and his first big competition after a scary accident where he was injured on his thigh six months ago receiving 60 stitches. J.R. Celski was raised in Federay way, Washington, has 2 older brothers. He started with inline skating winning national titles and shifted to speed skating after watching Apolo Ohno became a star at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. After the Vancouver Olympics, he will attend school at Cal-Berkeley.
