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.

What do the five coloured interlocking rings represent? The Olympic flag symbolizes all nations being united by the spirit of the Olympics. The Olympic torch also represents “A symbol of world peace“. The Olympic Games are a series of international matches based on justice and cooperation, and aimed at peace-building. The UN General Assembly adopted an Olympic Truce for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics, Paralympic Winter Games.

Work for peace! We are living in a time of many wars and the call for peace must be shouted. Peace sometimes gives the impression of being quiet, but it is never quiet, peace is always proactive and dynamic.” – Top 10 secrets to happiness, Pope Francis
