2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze, the Chinese short track team ended all the competitions at the Beijing Winter Olympics, it is regrettable that the closing day failed to win the medal, but objectively speaking, the results of the Chinese short track team in this Olympic Games are basically achieving the expected performance, which is not satisfactory.
On the evening of February 17, members of the Chinese short track team bid farewell to head coach Kim Sun-tae and technical coach Ahn Hyun-so (Victor-An), and the two Korean coaches will return to the South Korean province.
Compared with the low-key Kim Sun-tae, Coach Ahn Hyun-so can not fail to receive attention for various reasons, especially at the beginning of the Beijing Winter Olympics, he was once attacked by South Korean netizens, and his family life in South Korea was also disturbed, and Ahn Hyun-so was once forced to publicly appeal not to disturb the normal life of his family. On the Chinese side, Wang Said he had invited Ahn Hyun-so (Victor-Ahn), who is now a Russian citizen from Russia, and that South Koreans were not qualified to scold Ahn Hyun-so.
On the evening of the 17th, the Chinese short track team collectively bid farewell to the two, so Wu Dajing interrupted the live broadcast to bid farewell to the two coaches.
It is reported that Ahn Hyun-so's contract with the Chinese short track team will expire at the end of this month, whether it can continue the frontier is uncertain, Ahn Hyun-so has revealed that he will return to China to discuss with his wife before making a decision, to a certain extent, to this farewell added a lot of sadness.
Ahn Hyun-so is a historic athlete in the short track speed skating event, although he has only participated in the Winter Olympic Games for various reasons, but in the case of the first time he did not qualify for a medal, he won 6 gold and 2 bronze in the last two Winter Olympic Games, which is great.
After retiring, An Hyun-so joined the Chinese short track team as a technical coach in 2020 at the invitation of Wang Mao, and the athletes of the Chinese short track team recognized Ahn Hyun-so's training very much, and Wu Dajing, Lee Wen-yong, etc. said in interviews that they were very happy to get Ahn Hyun-so's guidance, and the athletes of the women's team also had similar expressions.
A month later, on March 18-20, the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships will be held in Montreal, Canada, and the Chinese short track team will start a new journey after a short break at the Beijing Winter Olympics. We look forward to it.
