His lifelong conflict and friendship with his father, who pushed Apolo to greatness from a very early age. The most notable incident is Apolo's first Olympic trial, where despite being a heavy favorite, the 15-year-old finished dead last. Afterwards, his father, who saw that Apolo simply gave up, brought him to a remote cabin on a Washington beach and left him there alone to figure out where he wanted to go in life. After 8 days, Apolo called his father and told him, "I want to skate." So he skated, devoting his entire life to the sport, and now he is a world champion-- thanks in large part to his father, Yuki.
