Ahn Hyun-so can be said to be a short-track speed skating goat, the Winter Olympics six gold and two bronze, each event has gold, the World Championships 18 gold, 6 all-around champions, no injury before the all-around champion five consecutive championships. Sports career performance top + character no black spot + once won glory for the country but was excluded from the country + long OK. The above is the so-called "beauty and misery" filter.
"Wherever I am, I do my best to develop short track speed skating." As Ahn Hyun-so wrote in his retirement letter, "Thank you for all this and hope you can support my new cause." "I feel that Ahn Hyun Soo is not easy to learn the language, the mother language Korean, then Russian, Chinese, one is more difficult than the other, and English must also be able to know it, Ahn Hyun Soo has a little language talent in the body."
Ahn Hyun-so became a Russian citizen in December 2011, and from her language to her lifestyle, she feels so lonely from South Korea. Before coming to Russia, the Russian short track speed skating team did not have outstanding results. From junior players to national teams, only 150 people in Russia play the sport. Because of the arrival of Ahn Hyun-so, the Russian short track team quietly changed.
After training and rehabilitation every day, Ahn Hyun-so and his wife insisted on going to the local language school to learn Russian for 2 hours, despite being extremely exhausted. Training hall - language school - apartment, three points and one line, so the monotonous life is 2 years. By 2013, Ahn Hyun-so no longer needed a translator and could communicate fluently with his teammates and staff in Russian.
At that time, Russia invited him vigorously for the Sochi Winter Olympics, and he also said in the interview, either for money or for a team to take in. In fact, it was four or five years since he won the turin championship, and because of the injury, the results were not particularly outstanding at that time, the Korean selection team did not enter, only Russia invited him. So he repeatedly mentioned thanking Russia for its trust.
After that, at the invitation of Wang Meng, he went to China to teach... Now, he is the technical coach of the Chinese team and a mentor and friend of Wu Dajing. Someone once asked Wu Dajing what language he used to communicate with Coach Ahn Hyun-so? Wu Dajing: "I speak fluent Mandarin, and Brother An speaks fluent Korean with a translator in between." ”
Now Ahn Hyun-so's Chinese level is also very good, not so blunt, can also do simple communication, you know Chinese is the world's hardest prophecy. Look at Ahn Hyun-so's documentary "Two Countries, One Love" to learn more about him. His self-discipline is entirely due to his love of the project, and although his personality is gentle and somewhat introverted, he is unimaginably persistent about the sport.
Ahn Hyun-so himself said, "If you choose this, just do this." A few small tips in the documentary are quite interesting: on the first day of the new year, Meimei wants to change the skates with new laces, saying that she should be pure to welcome the new year; the habit before going to bed at night is to watch the training video of the day; the content of the dream is still short track speed skating...
