Short-track speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno didn’t add another medal to his collection Friday night, when he was disqualified for pushing in the final of the men’s 500 meters at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Ohno appeared to push Francois-Louis Tremblay of Canada on the final turn, causing Tremblay and South Korean skater Sung Si-Bak to fall.

Charles Hamelin of Canada won the gold, Sung the silver, Tremblay the bronze. Ohno has one more chance to win a medal later Friday night in the men’s 5,000-meter relay.
