IOC member Kim Jae-yeol said,

“I hope Korea’s international sports administration workforce will increase.”

IOC member and ISU president visited the Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics and said, “Increasing young people’s interest in sports is a concern for all federations.”

Kim Jae-yeol (56), a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and president of the International Skating Union (ISU), hoped that Korea's international sports administrative workforce would increase.

Chairman Kim is traveling around the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics, which opened on the 19th. As an IOC member and ISU president, he monitors the operation of the competition and watches the games.

For Kim, who served as vice-chairman of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, this competition held using the facilities from that time holds a special meaning.

Commissioner Kim met with reporters at the Gangneung Ice Arena in Gangwon-do on the 29th, when the figure skating men's single free skating competition at the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics was held, and said, “The Olympics is a festival where athletes from all over the world gather at once and viewers from all over the world watch. “I am truly honored to be directly involved in this again.”

He also said, “Six years ago, during the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, I thought about hosting it successfully and played a role in executing it. “This time, I am thinking about how I can contribute to revitalizing the Olympics as an IOC member and ISU president,” he said.

It was the first time for an IOC member to attend an event called the Olympics. In a sense, Kim, who was elected as an IOC member in October of last year, welcomed other members in the capacity of a 'host'.

Commissioner Kim said, “In fact, for any competition, there are bound to be worries from the preparation perspective. I am also worried about whether many spectators will come and whether players will get hurt. “There are weather variables that we cannot control,” he said. “Still, the IOC members who visited the Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics expressed satisfaction with the operation of the games.”

Commissioner Kim, who is also actively communicating with IOC members, said, “Cecelia Tate (Peru), who also became an IOC member, and Sergei Bubka (Ukraine), a pole vault legend and IOC member, participated as an athlete at the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics. “When they visit Korea, they talk a lot about their memories from that time,” he said.

With the IOC attaching great importance to the issue of utilizing the Olympic legacy (legacy), this competition, in which future Olympic dreamers display their skills at the venue where the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics were held, is very meaningful.

Commissioner Kim said, “It was evaluated as a very well-built stadium, and everyone is satisfied that the game will be held in this place again,” and emphasized, “Not only the legacy in terms of facilities, but also the legacy in terms of software is very important.”

He said, “There are cases where the person who was the manager at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics is doing the same thing at this event. “As expected, people who volunteered during Pyeongchang also participated in the competition this time,” he explained. “The Dream Program, a training program that invites athletes from countries with poor winter sports, and the New Horizons Program, which was conducted during the Pyeongchang Organizing Committee, can also be seen as legacy.” . 온라인카지노
