Viktor An is one of the most popular and richest Skater who was born on November 23, 1985 in Seoul, South Korea.

Ahn began skating in 1993 in his first year of primary school. The first time he watched the sport on television was during the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer where one of his heroes, Chae Ji-hoon, took gold in the 500 m and silver in the 1,000 m for South Korea. Incidentally, these were the Games where Russia achieved a national record of 11 Olympic golds, a feat that he himself would help to repeat twenty years later. His coach, Kim Ki-hoon, was a three-time Olympic gold medalist who scouted Ahn and continues to train him. He trains ten hours every day from techniques, speed, and endurance to video analysis.

Ahn won the world junior short track championship in 2002, and finished second to Kim Dong-sung at his first senior-level world championship competition the same year, almost duplicating Kim’s feat of winning both the Junior and Senior World Championship titles in 1997. Ahn finished first in the overall World Cup rankings during 2003–2004 and 2005–2006 seasons.

At the 2006 Winter Olympics, Ahn won gold medals in the 1,500 m and 1000 m events. He set a new Olympic record time of 1:26.739 in the 1000 m, finishing ahead of teammate Lee Ho-suk and rival Ohno. Ahn also won gold in men’s 5,000 m relay along with teammates Lee Ho-suk, Seo Ho-jin, and Song Suk-woo. He became the second South Korean athlete ever to win three gold medals in one Olympics. (Jin Sun-yu accomplished this earlier on the same day.) Ahn also won a bronze medal in the 500 m event. Rarely taking the lead position throughout the entire race, Ahn’s strategy is to follow the leaders, then sprint using an outside passing lane (or occasionally an inside passing lane if the opportunity arises) with only two or three laps to go. In the 5,000 m relay at the 2006 Winter Olympics, he made a brilliant pass around defending Olympic champion Canada on the final lap, helping South Korea earn the victory. Sports commentators often refer to his “patented outside pass” due to its consistency and effectiveness.
