At last year's Beijing Winter Olympics, Ahn Hyun-so's Chinese short track speed skating team achieved excellent results, but the Korean short track speed skating team was eliminated early in many events, and Ahn Hyun-so was attacked by South Korean netizens. After the Beijing Winter Olympics, Ahn Hyun-so returned to South Korea to accompany his family.
In an exclusive interview with Yonhap News Agency in March last year, Ahn Hyun-so was asked if he would like to coach Korean players. He said at the time that South Korea was the place he spent the longest of his career and was loved by him. He said, "No matter what position or position, as long as I have the opportunity, whether at home or overseas, I will do my best." ”
Ahn Hyun-so won six Winter Olympic gold medals during his active years. In 2006, he represented South Korea at the Turin Winter Olympics, winning three gold medals in the men's 1000m, 1500m and 5000m relay and bronze in the men's 500m. Ahn Hyun-so received Russian citizenship in 2011 and represented Russia at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, winning three gold medals in the men's 500m, 1000m, 5000m relay and bronze medal in the men's 1500m in short track speed skating.
Admittedly, no matter where he coaches, the six-time Olympic gold medallist is legendary enough.
