World Best Sports

With five Olympic medals already to his name, Apolo Anton Ohno is no Winter Games slouch. And not many – count that any – active Olympians can also claim a Dancing with the Stars mirror-ball trophy like he won in 2007 with partner Julianne Hough. But Ohno wouldn't mind some more hardware – and soft shoes.

Before the Feb. 12 start of the Vancouver Games, PEOPLE caught up with the 27-year-old short-track speedskater, who revealed these five fun facts. • He Has a Shoe 'Thing': "I have a lot of shoes," Ohno says. "I have a weird, weird, obsessive amount of shoes. I just ordered three more pairs the other day. It's not only athletic shoes. I've got shoes I haven't worn, and I bought them three months ago, and they are just sitting in the box. It's bad. It's a problem. The first step is admitting it, and I just did!"
