Olympic Speed Skater Apolo Ohno Coming to Barnes & Noble @ VCU

Speed skater Apolo Ohno, the most decorated American Winter Olympics athlete of all time, will be at Barnes & Noble @ VCU at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 9., to sign copies of his just-published life story, “Zero Regrets.”

Ohno became the youngest U.S. national champion at the age of 14, but a year later finished last at the U.S. Olympic trials because of his lack of preparation. After a week of soul-searching, he recommitted to his sport and went on to win numerous major titles and eight Olympic medals. In “Zero Regrets,” Ohno shares the inspiring personal story behind his remarkable success, as well as the hard-won truths and strategies he has discovered.

Attendees may park for free in the West Broad Street Parking Deck at 1111 W. Broad St.

Books will be signed on a first-come, first-served basis. This event is a book signature-only event — no personalization and no posed photos. For more information, or for a schedule of upcoming events, call 804-828-1678 or e-mail mcbroughton@vcubooks.com.
