Apolo Ohno to sell t-shirts in Sochi?

When Bob Costas interviewed Apolo Anton Ohno before the Closing Ceremony, it seemed to me that Ohno hinted that he may become an Olympic announcer at the next Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Based on his reaction, Costas didn't seem all that interested to clarify.
Costas: Is Sochi a possibility in 2014?
Ohno: Socci is definitely in my mind. Whether I have my skates with me or not, that’s going to be the question.
Costas: This is a semi-retirement speech.
Ohno: There’s going to be no speeches like that. For me, I’ll make the decision when the time is right. But for now, there’s many many other things that I want to pursue. You’ll definitely see me in Sochi, it’s just whether I have my ice blades with me or not.
Costas: We’ll let you be coy about it.
What would Ohno be doing at the Sochi Olympics if he's not skating? Coaching or announcing, right? What else is there?
