Viktor An (born Ahn Hyun-soo on November 23, 1985) is a famous short-track speed skating coach and retired skater. He was born in South Korea and later became a Russian citizen. He is known as one of the greatest short track speed skaters ever.

Viktor An has won eight Olympic medals, including six gold and two bronze. He is the only short track skater to win gold in every distance at the Olympics. He also won a medal in every distance at one Olympic Games. He earned three gold medals at the 2006 Winter Olympics and three more at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

He has won the overall World Championship six times (from 2003 to 2007, and again in 2014). He also won the overall World Cup twice (2003–04, 2005–06) and was the 2014 European champion. He holds the record for most overall titles at the World Championships. He is also the only male short track skater to win five world titles in a row.

In 2008, Ahn had a serious knee injury. He could not recover in time for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. His South Korean team also closed down in 2010. Wanting to compete in another Olympics, Ahn became a Russian citizen in 2011 and joined the Russian team. After winning gold medals in Sochi, he explained that he wanted to train in the best possible environment. Many South Korean fans understood his decision, even though it caused a stir. Ahn continued skating for Russia until 2019 and retired in April 2020.

In 2023, Ahn returned to South Korea. He applied to be a coach for a short track team in Seongnam. However, some people criticized him for coaching the Chinese team at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. They also mentioned his decision to change citizenship. Because of this public opposition, Ahn was not given the coaching job.

After this, Ahn explained that he had donated all the Olympic pension money he received before becoming a Russian citizen. He said the money helped children needing heart surgery and young Korean skaters. Later in 2023, he started his first official coaching role in South Korea. He became a coach for the 2023–2024 national team trials, at the request of younger skaters.

Early Life and Training

Ahn started skating in 1993 when he was in primary school. He was inspired by watching the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. His hero, Chae Ji-hoon, won gold and silver medals there for South Korea.

Ahn's coach, Kim Ki-hoon, was an Olympic gold medalist himself. Kim discovered Ahn and trained him. Ahn practiced for ten hours every day. He worked on his skating techniques, speed, and endurance. He also studied videos of his races to improve.

Skating Career Highlights

Early International Competitions

Ahn first competed internationally at the World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships in 2002. He won the overall title by finishing first in the 1500 m, 1000 m, and 5000 m relay events.

He then went to the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He reached the finals in the 1000 m event. However, he fell in a controversial race involving other skaters and did not win a medal. He finished fourth.

After the 2002 Olympics, Ahn placed second at his first senior World Championship. He quickly became a top skater from the 2002–2003 season. Between 2003 and 2006, he won four overall World Championship titles in a row. He also won 23 medals during this time. He set world records for the 1500 m in 2003 and the 3000 m in 2003.

Team Challenges in South Korea

South Korea has many talented short track speed skaters. The national team selection process is very competitive. There were sometimes disagreements and issues within the Korean skating system. These issues could affect how athletes were chosen for the national team.

In 2005, Ahn had some difficulties with the Korea Skating Union. He was involved in an incident where a senior skater, Seo Ho-jin, was disciplined. Ahn also refused to train with the national team for a time. He trained with the women's team instead. This was a challenging period for him before the 2006 Olympics.

After Ahn won medals for Russia in 2014, the South Korean public questioned why he left. Ahn later said that his main reason for moving to Russia was to have a better training environment. He wanted to focus only on skating.

2006 Winter Olympics Success

At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, Ahn won three gold medals. He won the 1500 m and 1000 m events. He set a new Olympic record in the 1000 m.

Ahn also won gold in the men's 5000 m relay with his teammates. He used his special outside overtaking move to win the race. He became the second South Korean athlete to win three gold medals in one Olympics. He also won a bronze medal in the 500 m event. Ahn was the only athlete at those Games to win four medals. He was the first short track skater to win a medal in every distance at a single Olympics.

After the 2006 Olympics, Ahn continued his success at the 2006 World Championships. He won the 1000 m and 1500 m events, defending his overall title. He became the first male short track skater to win four world titles in a row.

Team Issues Continue

After the 2006 World Championships, there were more disagreements within the South Korean short track team. The team was split into two groups. Ahn was coached by the women's coach due to problems with the men's coach. The skaters sometimes refused to eat or sit together. Ahn even thought about quitting the sport because of the pressure. The Korea Skating Union later decided to unite the team under one head coach.

Despite these issues, Ahn continued to perform well. At the 2007 World Championships, he won his fifth world championship. He won the 1000 m and the 5000 m relay. He also won silver and two bronze medals. With this win, Ahn became the first man to win five world championships in a row.

Injury and Recovery

On January 16, 2008, Ahn injured his knee during training. He collided with a fence and fractured his knee. This injury meant he could not compete in major events like the 2008 World Championships. Doctors predicted a 2–3 month recovery.

His recovery was slower than expected, and he had four surgeries over 15 months. In 2009, he tried to qualify for the 2010 Olympic team but did not make it. He had not fully recovered from his injury.

Moving to Russia

After the 2010 Winter Olympics, there were more issues in Korean short track skating. Ahn's father spoke out about some of these problems. Ahn became a person who brought attention to these issues. This made things difficult for him. His local team, Seongnam City Hall, also closed down in 2010. Ahn could not find another team in South Korea.

In April 2011, Ahn competed in his last event as a South Korean citizen. He won gold in the 500 m. He then announced he would move to Russia to skate in a better environment. He became a Russian citizen on December 28, 2011. His Korean citizenship ended because South Korea does not allow dual nationality.

Before moving, Ahn did not speak Russian and had no family in Russia. He chose the name "Viktor" because it means "victory" and to honor a famous Soviet rock star named Viktor Tsoi.

Success in Russia

Ahn joined the Russian national team for the 2011–2012 season. He made his debut as a Russian skater at a World Cup event in Moscow. In the 2012–2013 season, he won individual gold medals at World Cup events. He also helped Russia win its first-ever relay gold.

He had a great season leading up to the Olympics. He finished second in the overall World Cup rankings. He also won four gold medals at the 2014 European Championships. His knee injury still affected him in longer races, but he excelled in the 500 m.

2014 Winter Olympics Triumph

At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Ahn won a bronze medal in the 1500 m. This was Russia's first short track Olympic medal ever. He then won Russia's first short track gold medal in the 1000 m. He also helped Russia achieve a 1-2 finish in that race.

On February 21, Ahn won his fifth Olympic gold medal in the 500 m. With this, he became the first short track skater to win all four Olympic gold medals: 500 m, 1000 m, 1500 m, and 5000 m relay. He later won his sixth Olympic gold medal in the 5000 m relay. This made him the short track skater with the most Olympic gold medals (six) and the most Olympic medals overall (eight).

After his victories, many Koreans questioned the Korea Skating Union about Ahn's move to Russia. The South Korean President even ordered an investigation. Ahn, however, said his decision was only about competing in the Olympics. He felt the media was making his relationship with Korean athletes awkward.

After Sochi and Retirement

A month after the Olympics, Ahn won his sixth world title at the 2014 World Championships. He won the 1000 m and placed third in the 3000 m. He is the only man to win six world championships in the sport.

Ahn continued to skate despite some knee problems. He missed the 2015–2016 season. Doctors warned him that more surgery could end his career, so he worked on strengthening his muscles. He won more medals for Russia at European and World Championships.

Ahn had planned to retire after the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. However, he was not allowed to compete due to concerns about doping in Russia. Ahn had never failed a drug test and challenged the decision, but he did not receive a response.

Ahn retired from skating in April 2020 due to ongoing knee problems. He announced that he would continue to work in the sport.

Coaching Career

In 2019, Ahn accepted an offer to coach China's national speed skating team. He worked as a top assistant coach for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. He helped Chinese skaters win two gold, one silver, and one bronze medal. He trained athletes by skating with them to help them learn naturally.

During the 2022 Olympics, some Korean skaters were disqualified. This led to criticism of Ahn in South Korea. Some media also mentioned that he had received an Olympic pension before becoming a Russian citizen. Ahn later explained that he had donated his pension money to charity. He said he would continue to work in short track speed skating despite the criticism.

After the 2022 Olympics, Ahn returned to South Korea. He applied for a coaching position in Seongnam City in 2023. However, due to public opposition, he was not hired. Despite this, in April 2023, Ahn began his first official coaching role in South Korea. He coached young skaters at Korea National Sport University. Seven of these skaters listed him as their coach for the national team trials.

Skating Style

• Wu Dajing, a famous skater, said Ahn is a master at controlling the race on the track.
• Chae Ji-hoon noted that Ahn always waits for the perfect moment to pass other skaters.
• Apolo Anton Ohno, another skating legend, described Ahn as having the most beautiful technique. He said Ahn's body type is perfect for short track skating, allowing him to absorb information like a sponge.

Awards and Honors

Representing Korea

Ahn received the Outstanding Player Award in January 2006. He was also named Player of the Month by the American Sports Academy. He became an honorary ambassador for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics bid.

In 2008, he was chosen as the Most Valuable Player by the Korea Skating Union. He also received the Men's Team Award at the Asian Sports Awards. In 2009, he became an ambassador for the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation.

Representing Russia

In March 2013, Russia named Ahn a Merited Master of Sport.

NBC named him the Most Valuable Player at the Sochi Winter Olympics. He was also named 2014 Athlete of the Year by GQ magazine in Russia. In 2014, he became an honorary ambassador for the Korea-Russia Year of Mutual Visit.

In 2016, Ahn received the Proud Alumnus Award from his university. He was also added to the Korea National Sports University Ice Rink Hall of Fame and the Sochi Walk of Fame.

Personal Life

Ahn is married to Woo Nari, who was a member of his fan club. He has said that her support helped him adjust to life in Russia. Their daughter was born in December 2015. His wife later moved back to South Korea, wanting to raise their daughter there. This influenced Ahn's decision to return to South Korea.

Ahn's younger brother, Ahn Hyun-Jun, is also a speed skater. He joined the Korean national speed skating team for the 2022–23 season.

Russian Citizenship Details

Vladimir Putin and Ahn after the 2014 Olympics

Ahn gained Russian citizenship to compete for Russia in the 2014 Winter Olympics. His father stated that this decision was due to a lack of support from the South Korean skating association. Before moving, Ahn did not know Russian and had no family in Russia. He considered competing for the United States but found it easier to get Russian citizenship.

In South Korea, many people were upset about Ahn leaving to compete for Russia. Newspapers reported public anger towards the skating federation. After the 2014 Olympics, the South Korean government investigated the skating organization. In September 2018, Ahn retired and moved back to South Korea. While many Koreans supported him in 2014, he faced some criticism later on. In 2023, he tried to get a coaching job in South Korea but was denied due to public opposition.

In the Media

From 2010 to 2011, Ahn worked as a short track commentator for SBS Sports. He covered World Cup events and the World Championships.

From 2014 to 2016, he appeared as a guest on Russia's talk show Evening Urgant.

From 2017 to 2018, Ahn and his daughter appeared on the South Korean reality show The Return of Superman.
