On February 9, Beijing time, the official opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics has been a few days, in these days, China's athletes have won many gold medals in many sports, and this is destined to become the best Winter Olympics in Chinese history. For this Winter Olympics, China has not only been preparing for four years, but even earlier. China has even introduced a lot of foreign coaches and players to this end, in order to achieve good results at its doorstep, but it did not expect that the introduction of foreign coaches at this time has caused a lot of controversy.
Just recently, the short-track speed skater from South Korea and now the coach of the Chinese short-track speed skating team, Ahn Hyun-so, have been continuously attacked on social media, and many Korean fans have clamored to hurt Ahn Hyun-soo, and even issued a threatening announcement to Ahn Hyun-so's family. This behavior has caused Ahn Hyun-soo, who is in China, to be worried, because although people in China can be guaranteed safety, his family is still in South Korea. He was very worried that his family would be hurt, so he also begged Korean netizens through social media not to hurt his family.
The reason why South Korean netizens have such a big opinion about Ahn Hyun-so is also because with his help, the Chinese short track speed skating team won the gold medal in the project, while the world record holder South Korea was eliminated in the quarter-finals because of fouls. This has also led to a very unbalanced mentality among South Korean netizens, coupled with the fact that South Korea's women's football team has also been killed by China recently, which has directly triggered a series of controversies on the Internet in South Korea. Many extreme netizens believe that it is because Ahn Hyun-so coached China that led to the failure of South Korea, because Ahn Hyun-so is a Korean himself, and he should have been the coach of the Korean team.
People who don't know the reasons for this may think that there is some truth in what the Korean team said, but it is not that Ahn Hyun-so does not want to become a coach in South Korea, but that South Korea abandoned him in the first place. When Ahn Hyun-so was injured in training, South Korea refused to help him heal because he was not injured when he was not fighting for his country. He had to become a Russian citizen and helped Russia win three gold medals at the Winter Olympics. Later, he came to China at the invitation of Wang Meng, which led to a series of events that are happening now.
At this time, Wang Meng also came out to support An Hyun-so, and Wang Mao, who has always been outspoken, did not hide his dislike for these extreme netizens in South Korea, and she directly said that South Korea is not qualified to criticize Ahn Hyun-so. No one gave Ahn Hyun-so a chance at the beginning, not even Russia thought of inviting Ahn Hyun-so to become a coach, only Wang Mo made this decision at that time. Therefore, it is not that China is deliberately trying to poach Ahn Hyun-so, but that Ahn Hyun-soo was accepted by China at the most difficult time, and South Korean netizens have said these things in reverse.
I have to say that although the Winter Olympics still adhere to the principle of friendship first and competition second, in the face of great right and wrong, even friendship can be ignored. In the face of the threats of South Korean netizens to Ahn Hyun-so's family, China will certainly support Ahn Hyun-so, and China will never allow anyone to threaten our coaches or players. The South Korean short track speed skating team is not as good as people and threatens Ahn Hyun-so in this way, which can only be self-pleading, in the end, South Korean netizens are better to worry about their own domestic situation more practical.
