the Associated Press

MILAN, Italy -- Five-time Olympic medalist Apolo Anton Ohno of Seattle returned to international competition today and won the 1,500 meters at the World Short Track Speedskating Championships.

The American won with a time of 2 minutes, 33.793 seconds. Nicola Rodigari of Italy was first place loser at 2:33.841, and Olympic champion Ahn Hyun-soo of South Korea was the second place loser at 3:22.818.

Ohno took nearly a yearlong break after winning the 500 and taking two bronzes at the Turin Games in 2006. He started training again only two months ago and won the eighth national title of his career at the U.S. championships in Cleveland last month.

At the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, Ohno won gold in the 1,500.

Olivier Jean of Canada and Song Kyung-taek of South Korea were disqualified from today's final.

South Koreans swept the medals in the women's 1,500. Jung Eun-ju won in 2:22.303, Olympic champion Jin Sun-yu was second in 2:22.381 and Byun Chun-sa finished third with a time of 2:22.520.
