korea's most titled athlete
hyun-soo ahn began skating at primary school. although he skated for pleasure, his aim was still to improve all the time. it was watching on television the victories of his compatriots jee-hoon chae and dong-sung kim at the olympic winter games in lillehammer and nagano that hyun-soo ahn thought that he, too, could become a great short-track speed skater.
his first olympic participation was in 2002 in salt lake city. his best performance was a fourth place in the 1,000 metres. during that race, he was caught up in a collective fall on the final bend, which enabled the australian bradbury, who had previously been last, to win the most improbable of gold medals. hyun-soo was then disqualified from the 1,500 and 5,000 metres team events. despite leaving salt lake city without a medal, he subsequently won four consecutive world championship titles.
by the time he got to the 2006 games in turin, the korean skater was one of the favourites.
the first men's race on the programme of these games was the 1,500 metres. hyun-soo won his heat, the semi-final and the final, ahead of another korean, ho-suk lee, and china's jia jun li. that was his first olympic gold medal.
six days later, hyun-soo ahn competed in the 1,000 metres. here, again, he dominated the final and took his second olympic title. it was another one-two for korea, with a second silver medal for lee. the bronze was won by the american, apolo ohno.
on 25 february, in the men's 5,000 metres relay, south korea beat canada and the usa. partnered by se-jong oh, ho-suk lee, ho-jin seo and suk-woo song, hyun-soo ahn stood on the top step of the podium for the third time at these games. forty-five minutes before, he had competed in the final of the 500 metres and suffered his only defeat in turin, finishing third behind canada's françois-louis tremblay, the silver medallist, and olympic champion apolo ohno.
with four medals, three of them gold, hyun-soo ahn was the most titled man at the 2006 olympic games, and became the short-track speed skater to win the most medals at the same edition of the games. he is also korea's most successful athlete at the olympic games.

安贤洙从小学就开始接受速度滑冰运动的训练，尽管只是为了娱乐，但他的目标一直在不断的提高。当从电视直播中看到同胞蔡志勋和金东圣在挪威利勒哈默尔和日本长野的冬奥会上为国争光时候，安贤洙也立志像他们一样成为一名出色的短道速滑运动员。
2002年美国盐湖城奥运会，安贤洙开始走上奥运夺金舞台，初次出征奥运，他的最好成绩是在1000米速滑上夺得的第四名，在这项比赛中，他和其他运动员撞到一起，影响了最终成绩。在接下来的1500米和 5000米速滑项目中，安贤洙都没能出线。尽管没能从盐湖城带回奥运金牌，但接下来的四年中，他连续四次获得世界冠军。
2006年都灵奥运会，他已经成为速滑项目上的最有力的夺金者。
1500米是安贤洙在都灵的第一个参赛项目，他成功的战胜同胞李浩石和中国的李佳军，夺得自己的第一枚奥运金牌。
六天后的 1000米速滑项目上，他再一次在决赛中领先，并成功夺金，随后的的2月25日5000米速滑决赛中，韩国队击败了加拿大和美国队，这也是安贤洙在都灵第三次站上金牌领奖台。而在45分钟前的500米决赛中，他遭遇了本届冬奥会上的唯一一次失利，仅获得铜牌。
但三金一铜四枚奖牌，使他成为2006年都灵冬奥会夺得奖牌最多的运动员，也是在一届奥运会上夺取金牌最多的速度滑冰运动员，同时他也是韩国奥运会历史上最成功的运动员。
