On February 11, Beijing time, the speed skating competition of the Winter Olympics will continue to be held at the Capital Gymnasium, and the love and killing between the two teams around China and South Korea will inevitably be staged. The electric light and flint on the ice are pointed at each other, and the fight between the players for the gold medal is like a war without smoke.
Because Ahn Hyun-so and Kim Sun-tae joined the Chinese speed skating team, the competition between the Chinese and South Korean teams at the Beijing Winter Olympics was even more full of gunpowder. As a former South Korean, Ahn Hyun-so, who is now a Russian national, has become the object of verbal criticism and criticism by South Korean netizens, insulting and intimidating, and the "6 Golden King" of the Winter Olympics is definitely the center of the whirlpool of this storm.
However, at the time of the Internet violence from South Korea, Ahn Hyun-so also received support from Chinese netizens, so Ahn Hyun-soo specially posted a message on his social media to thank all the Chinese who supported him. Of course, in this case, the biggest warmth in Ahn Hyun-so's life - his wife Yu Na-ri has also been unconditionally supporting her husband, saying that no matter when and where, she will fight alongside Ahn Hyun-so!
Perhaps many people do not know that the handsome Ahn Hyun-soo has not only been acquainted with the ice rink in his life, but also received the love of his beautiful wife because of his career. The 2 people came together and staged a love fairy tale of "Cinderella and the Prince".
Ahn Hyun-so won 8 Olympic medals
Born in 1985, Ahn Hyun-so idolized Korean speed skating stars Choi Ji-hoon and Kim Dong-sung as an early age, and as an adult, his extremely endurance physical fitness laid the foundation for becoming an excellent short track speed skater. After representing South Korea at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and making his debut, Ahn Hyun-so's record skyrocketed.
After winning the World Cup and the World Championships several times, the stage of the second Winter Olympics became the node of Ahn Hyun-so's outbreak: in the 1000m, 1500m and 5000m relay events, Ahn Hyun-so staged a gold medal "hat trick" and won a bronze medal in the final of the 500m.
Later, like many athletes, injuries that accompanied his performance found Ahn Hyun-soo, who fractured his left kneecap during an accident during a training session in 2008. As we all know, South Korea is an absolute power in short track speed skating, and the competition of domestic talents is like table tennis in China. During Ahn Hyun-so's injury, he not only did not receive medical support from the national team because of the "infighting" in the Korean team, but also failed to qualify for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics due to insufficient domestic points.
Generally speaking, athletes may choose to retire under such circumstances, but Ahn Hyun-so is still reluctant to give up his beloved career. Yu Na-ri, who was his girlfriend at the time, saw that the idol he had been pursuing since 2004 was at the low point of his life and gave Ahn Hyun-so the greatest care.
At this time, having entered the Olympic cycle of the Sochi Winter Olympics, the Russians who have selected talents around the world saw the persistent light in Ahn Hyun-so's eyes, and they extended an olive branch to the Olympic champion. After losing the South Korean national team again, Ahn Hyun-so became a Russian naturalist at the end of 2011 and changed his name to Victor Ahn.
At this time, Yu Na-ri frantically chased Ahn Hyun-soo to Russia with him, and said that "Ahn Hyun-soo likes skating so much, I can't stop him, even if South Korea abandons him, I will always accompany him"! Legends are often created in the determination, after miraculously helping Russia win 3 gold and 1 bronze in Sochi and completing the "second degree" of personal Winter Olympics medals, a pair of beautiful people finally entered the palace of marriage.
Yu Na-ri, who used to be a "fan sister" as an interpreter and "press commissioner" around Ahn Hyun-so, finally succeeded in ascending to the throne and turned her identity into the wife of an idol, and the two of them also had a lovely daughter after marriage. Although Ahn Hyun-so had to leave the motherland, he can also be regarded as a winner in life!
However, when the ambitious Ahn Hyun-soo was looking forward to continuing to fight for Russia and returning to the "motherland" Pyeongchang to continue to write the legend, he was waiting for the "bad news" that the South Korean side had banned Ahn Hyun-so from entering the country because of Russia's involvement in banning drugs. When other players can compete in the name of the Russian Olympic Committee team, Ahn Hyun-so can only bear to give up his 4th Olympic trip, which shows the small belly of the Korean.
His wife, Yu Nali, posted at the time: "A trial without warning means that we should take a break. As a result, Ahn Hyun-so, who won 6 gold and 2 bronze for 2 countries, retired, and a generation of Winter Olympic legends came to an end!
But his fate with skating continues, and when he learned that Ahn Hyun-so, who was eager to show his coaching level, intended to go to the high-level stage to continue the legend, his old Chinese friend Wang Mao invited the "6 Golden King" of the Winter Olympics to join the Chinese team in China. As a result, An Hyun-so began to train as a sparring partner for Wu Dajing, Han Tianyu and others in 2020, and officially became the coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team in the second half of 2021.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Ahn Hyun-so's performance has proved that he has strong strength both on the field and on the sidelines. The reason why Korean netizens hate their teeth is because they feel that they have completely forced away such a legendary figure. Here, I also hope that Ahn Hyun-so can continue to contribute to the Chinese team, and at the same time live a happy and happy life with the beautiful Yu Na-li!
