On February 19, Beijing time, near the end of the Beijing Winter Olympics, most of the members of the participating teams, including athletes and coaches, returned to their respective countries after completing their work, among them, Ahn Hyun-so of the Chinese short track speed skating coaching team, as did Ahn Hyun-so on February 19, released a personal video to bid farewell to Chinese fans and officially announced his departure.
Ahn Hyun-so said: "Thank you very much for your attention and support to me, I understand that I still have a lot of room for improvement, no matter where I am in the future, I will still not forget my original intention, as always, and strive to be the best version of myself." The sea is wide with fish leaping, the sky is high for birds to fly, I wish everyone a bright future! ”
Ahn Hyun-so signed a contract with the Chinese team for only half a year, taking office in October 2021 and ending at the end of February 2022, but during this period, Ahn Hyun-so still helped China's short track speed skating to achieve many good results, and the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating team won 2 gold medals. In addition, Ahn Hyun-soo's kind personality, mingling with Chinese short-track speed skating members, especially the close "master-apprentice" relationship with Wu Dajing, has made Ahn Hyun-so gain a high popularity.
Once in the training class of the Chinese short track speed skating team, when Wu Dajing trained until he was very tired, he directly leaned on Ahn Hyun-so to play, which showed how good the relationship between the two was. Wu Dajing said, "Well, I was too tired from training and wanted to play with him, but he didn't eat this set." ”
To this end, under the video dynamics of Ahn Hyun-soo announcing that he has left China and returned to South Korea to reunite his wife and children, more than 200,000 Chinese netizens have liked and retained, which shows Ahn Hyun-so's popularity in China.
Some netizens commented that "the future is bright" has never been said to people who want to be separated... But it doesn't matter, I look forward to the day when Victor and the Chinese short track speed skating team meet again. "Coach Ann worked hard!! Thank you for your contribution to the Chinese Short Track Speed Skating Team!! May you always be happy in the future, and always be able to be with love! ”
Unfortunately, Ahn Hyun-so is not sure whether he will coach the Chinese short track speed skating team in the future, the next time they meet, it may be an opponent, I believe that the members of China's short track speed skating will not disappoint the former coach, and will definitely go all out!
Ahn Hyun-so is the world's short track speed skating historical figure, athlete period, has represented South Korea, Russia in the Winter Olympics, two Winter Olympics a total of 6 gold and 2 bronze results, with absolute dominance, it can be said that at the peak of individual athletes, Ahn Hyun-so was the world's strongest men's short track speed skating event at that time. During the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, if it were not for Ahn Hyun-soo's inability to participate due to some reasons beyond his control, Ahn Hyun-so would have a good chance of holding 9 Winter Olympic gold medals. Today, Ahn Hyun-so has invested in the coaching position, has coached and won 2 Winter Olympic gold medals, in the future, it is expected that Ahn Hyun-so will continue to focus on the coaching position and bring out more Winter Olympic champions!
