Korean short track skaters are refusing to stay on the same floor of a hotel together and Ahn Hyun-soo's father slapped one of the coaches for allegedly holding back his son.

Deeper conflicts within the team appear to arise from the training program that pits teammates against one another, with two coaches handling the two different squads that compete against each other.
``The problem has always been there; the success in Torino just highlighted it,'' said Lee Tae-young, president of Sports Forum 21, a non-profit sports organization. ``The two-coaching system pits the two teams against one another. Overheated competition inevitably comes between them.'' |
I've seen this in classrooms so many times. Put them in two rival teams and they'll do anything to beat each other. Sooner or later they'll come to blows.
I imagine the Korean War starting like this. |

Interesting perspective ... disturbing conclusion
Korean "competiveness" driven by Korean "EGO". |
