Problem Statement

Let ABC ABC be an acute triangle with orthocenter H H and let X X be an arbitrary point in its plane. The circle with diameter HX HX intersects the lines AH AH and AX AX at A1 A_{1} and A2 A_{2}, respectively. Similarly, define B1 B_{1}, B2 B_{2}, C1 C_{1}, C2 C_{2}. Prove that the lines A1A2 A_{1}A_{2}, B1B2 B_{1}B_{2}, C1C2 C_{1}C_{2} are concurrent. Remark. The triangle obviously doesn't need to be acute.
