A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Olympic Spirit : Passion drives me snowboarding PyeongChang Peace Olympics Passion drives me Passion Olympic torch Olympic Spirit Moving forward Moo Hyun Choi   Moo Hyun Choi(26), a former Korean national snowboarding athlete, can’t do exercise any more. He has been living together with his snowboard for 20 years.

To the person who regarded snowboarding as everything, a serious injury to his right calf was incurred during one of the training sessions. He spent around 1 year in the hospital and repeatedly received surgeries. The doctor in charge even gave a grave diagnosis of a slim chance of recovery.

Only 30% of Moo Hyun’s right calf muscles remain”

In the situation of not knowing when recovery would be possible, he received the question “now that you are a failed athlete, what will you do in your life?”

Olympic Spirit : Life of peace activists

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Olympic Spirit : Passion drives me snowboarding PyeongChang Peace Olympics Passion drives me Passion Olympic torch Olympic Spirit Moving forward Moo Hyun Choi     But he never gives up. He was the weakest I had ever been in my life, so he really needed some type of goal that I could look towards. “Moving forward, we need to put forth even more efforts to solve this problem on a domestic, national and international level. When war breaks out, it is the young people who lose their lives first. Too much time has already passed. Now is the time for us to speak out. If the youth and the citizens unite as one and raise their voices for peace, then the world will not be able to ignore them. It is impossible to change the course of history with the strength of only one person. However, history can always be changed by people.”

This is the Olympic Spirit that can be seen in practice through the many efforts of the athlete Choi Moo Hyun. With this heart, he concluded the interview by leaving this message for all of the youths and readers.

Through sports, many people can set aside their ideals, their thoughts, and all of those types of things, and with a united passion and heart peace can be achieved when people join in the work of peace as one.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

The Closing Ceremony of PyeongChang Peace Olympics

The Closing Ceremony of PyeongChang Peace Olympics

  Pyeongchang‘s final night starts with electronic music and a dark-breaking sound of geomungo. The final stage of the Pyeongchang Peace Olympics was a festival that included volunteers as well as athletes. The CNN in the United States praised, “The PyeongChang Peace Olympics will certainly be remembered for a long time.” They focused on the scenes not seen in any other Olympics. It is more than just sports festival. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), told the crowd: “The Olympic Games of PyeongChang 2018 are the games of new horizons. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your(Korean President Moon) personal commitment and determination to make these Games so successful in every way.” Moon said, “Here in Korea, we will continue our endeavor to broaden the horizon of peace that began in Pyeonchang.”


What opens up a new horizon?
