In the women's 3,000-meter relay race of short track speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team finally won a valuable bronze medal, which is also the second time that the Chinese team has received the podium in this project after 12 years. The performances of Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong, Zhang Yuting and Han Yutong are admirable. Behind their success, it is inseparable from the help of technical coach Ahn Hyun-so. As a former South Korean speed skater, Ahn Hyun-so now coaches in the Chinese team. After the Chinese team won the bronze medal, Ahn Hyun-so also spoke out to help the Chinese team speak. However, because of helping the Chinese team achieve good results, Ahn Hyun-so suffered an Internet storm in South Korea.
Audiences familiar with short track speed skating will surely not be unfamiliar with the name Ahn Hyun-so, who can be said to be a genius in the speed skating world. He played for the Korean team at the Turin Winter Olympics, where he won 3 gold and 1 bronze alone, and then won 3 gold and 1 bronze again for Russia at the Sochi Winter Olympics. Such a performance made Ahn Hyun-so famous, and after retiring, Ahn Hyun-so joined the Chinese short track speed skating team as a technical coach. Ren Ziwei and Wu Dajing performed well at this Winter Olympic Games, and behind them is the credit of Ahn Hyun-so.
In the final of the women's 3000-meter relay of speed skating at the Winter Olympics, the Chinese team finally relied on the efforts of the team members to fight for a valuable bronze medal under unfavorable circumstances. The last time the Chinese team received the podium in this project was at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, and it has now been 12 years. Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong, Zhang Yuting, Han Yutong, these 5 girls finally fulfilled a dream for the Chinese team, and the girls' performance was also praised by everyone. After all, the Chinese women's short track speed skating is not at the peak, and it is very satisfying to be able to fight for this bronze medal.
As the technical coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team, Ahn Hyun-so naturally contributed behind this bronze medal. Ahn Hyun-so also updated his personal social platform late at night to help the girls of the Chinese team speak. Ahn Hyun-so said that it is not related to the color of the medal, and if you can exert your strength to the best of your ability, you should get applause from everyone. Ahn Hyun-so revealed the hard work of the team members, affirmed the preciousness of the bronze medal, and said that he was happy for the Chinese team from the bottom of his heart. Obviously, as a coach, Ahn Hyun-so understands how much hardship the players have put in behind their backs, and his voice can be said to be from the heart.
However, Ahn Hyun-so himself has suffered from the Internet violence of South Korean netizens, as a former naturalized Russian player, and now teaching on the Chinese short track speed skating team, Ahn Hyun-so naturally cannot be accepted by South Korean netizens. During the Winter Olympics, Ahn Hyun-so helped the Chinese short track speed skating team play at a high level, which also led to personal attacks on him and his family by South Korean netizens. Ahn Hyun-so and his wife had to turn off the comment function of their social accounts, which showed his helplessness. Wang, on the other hand, stood up for Ahn Hyun-soo, saying that Koreans were not qualified to speak of Ahn Hyun-so because only China had given Ahn Hyun-so a chance to coach.
The Chinese short track speed skating team performed well in this Winter Olympics, and Ren Ziwei, Wu Dajing, Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu and others left a deep impression on us. While we thank the athletes for their hard work, we must not forget the coaches who silently contribute behind their backs, and we should also give applause to foreign coaches like Ahn Hyun-so.
