I also read many articles that Viktor Ahn, a short track skater who was naturalized as a Russian citizen, is promoting a return to Korea.
According to an ice skating official, Victor Ahn recently applied for an open recruitment for the ice team coach position at Seongnam City Hall.
He is currently in the state of paperwork and is said to be facing an interview.
Victor Ahn was a Korean short track speed skater who won three gold medals at the 2006 Torino Olympic Games.
In 2011, when Seongnam City Hall, the team at the time, disbanded the ice team due to financial problems, he became a naturalized Russian citizen to continue his career as an athlete, and continued his heyday by winning three gold medals at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
However, he did not participate in the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics due to being involved in a doping scandal in Russia.
He later turned into a leader and coached the Chinese national team at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
