Viktor An, six-time Olympic champion in short track speed skating, three-time Olympic champion in Sochi-2014, became the guest of honor at the celebrations associated with the release of the ANTA Sports brand. This is how the brand opens a new stage in its own history in Russia, which takes place under the slogan “New start, new opportunities”. The company is planning active expansion into the Russian market and sees great opportunities for brand development.

Events in honor of the presentation of the brand in Russia were held at Rosa Khutor on Krasnaya Polyana. Among the events - a show of the ANTA brand and a morning run with Viktor An, in which everyone took part, including a large number of brand partners in Russia.

As noted by Jan Tao, Deputy President of ANTA Corporation, “ANTA has long been associated with Russia. The first pair of shoes under the ANTA brand was sold on the Russian market 20 years ago, which was a definite step for the brand to enter the international arena. After 20 years, ANTA has grown into a professional international sporting goods manufacturing and retail company. Over the past 20 years, thanks to joint work with our Russian partners, we have studied the Russian market and Russian consumers. Today we are on the verge of a new stage for the ANTA brand, which opens up serious prospects for us. "
