SEATTLE - The Asian Hall of Fame will induct speed skater Apolo Ohno at a ceremony in Seattle next week.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist is one of two inductees for 2007. Attorney Loida Nicholas Lewis will also be inducted. She is the chair of an investment firm.

Apolo Anton Ohno of the United States celebrates after winning his heat in the Men's 500 meter race in Short Track Speed Skating at the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy, Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2006.
