A few days ago, the Chinese short track speed skating delegation has decided to withdraw from the World Championships held in Canada in April after repeated weighing. On the one hand, this is considered by the epidemic, on the other hand, the current head coach of the Chinese team is still vacant, even if you go to the competition, there is no one responsible for leading the team. Nowadays, the outside world is paying attention to who will pick up this burden and continue to lead the Chinese short track speed skating team forward, and Jin Shantai's exclusive voice is even more exciting to ice fans, perhaps he will be the chosen son of the Chinese team.
Under the leadership of Kim Sun-tae and Ahn Hyun-so, the Chinese team delivered a good result at the Beijing Winter Olympics, winning 2 gold and 1 silver, and also emerged potential new stars such as Ren Ziwei and Lee Wendong, it can be said that the work of these two Korean coaches is very successful. Although this is not comparable to the honors won by the Chinese short track speed skating team at its peak, considering that the current Chinese team is at a low point and in the process of upgrading, this result is completely handy, and Jin Shantai has also proved his ability and experience.
Of course, for the Chinese team, the reason why they did not choose to renew Jin Shantai after the Winter Olympics was because the Chinese team was still waiting to see if there would be a better coach to coach, after all, Jin Shantai is a good coach, but there are more suitable than him, like the news that former Olympic champion Wang Meng is ready to return, which also makes ice fans feel excited. However, now that Wang Meng has turned to the field of interpretation, and has been very successful as soon as she appears, coupled with her personality, experience and other reasons, it is very difficult to transfer to the position of head coach now.
Instead, Kim Sun-tae, after returning to his hometown of South Korea, has repeatedly publicly expressed his nostalgia for the Chinese short-track speed skating team. Recently, Jin Shantai once again took the initiative to confess to the Chinese team, he wrote on social media that he missed his friends in China very much, whether it was coaches, athletes, or behind-the-scenes workers, he was also very much looking forward to the next season, and also affectionately used "we" to call the Chinese team. Obviously, Kim Sun-tae's desire to return to coaching the Chinese team is extremely strong.
Nowadays, in the case of major international competitions unfolding one after another and there is no better choice, if the Chinese team continues to choose Jin Shantai, it is actually a win-win result. He is already very familiar with the team, and his personality is also loved by many players in the team, coupled with his impeccable personality, which also has a great positive effect on establishing the image of China's short track speed skating. Therefore, for various reasons, the continuation of the leading edge between the Chinese team and Jin Shantai is almost a foregone conclusion, which is gratifying.
As for another South Korean, Ahn Hyun-so, I'm afraid he won't be able to return again. After all, he was returning to China, first, he did not show much nostalgia for the Chinese team, and some of her wife's behaviors also hurt the hearts of Chinese ice fans. Now, in the case that Wang Meng and An Xiansu are likely not to return, only by relying on Kim Sun-tae can the Chinese short track speed skating team regain its strength and continue to attack the championship, and there will be many competitions this year, looking forward to the Chinese team to achieve good results.
