'Shooting Emperor' Rep. Jin Jong-oh of the People's Power visited the Icheon National Training Center on the 18th.
After talking with Chung Jin-wan, chairman of the Korea Sports Association for the Disabled, Jin toured major training facilities such as a goalball court, a badminton court, a weightlifting court, a shooting range, an archery range, a medical and scientific office, and a training course to check the operation status and carefully examine the training environment of the athletes. Lawmaker Jin then held meetings with national leaders and athletes to listen to difficulties in the training process and discuss practical support measures for the development of sports for the disabled.
The leaders' meeting was attended by coaches in 11 sports training at Icheon Athletes' Village. Leaders requested the introduction of a trainer salary system that is responsible for improving the treatment of leaders and improving the physical strength of players for responsible player development and systematic guidance. Kwon Hyun-joo, head coach of the archery team, said, `Trainers are currently receiving daily wages, but they are paid less than the minimum wage for months when the number of training days is small. We need a good trainer, but the reality is that it's difficult to hire a trainer, he said, asking for careful support.
At the athletes' meeting, athletes in 11 sports openly shared their opinions with lawmaker Jin Jong-oh, a former national team member, on ▶ expanding unemployment teams that can train ▶ improving athletes' village life to improve performance ▶ ways to utilize leisure time in athletes' village. Lawmaker Jin had a time to empathize and communicate with realistic advice based on his experience as a player.
"Iron Man"Kim Hwang-tae, who challenged the triathlon for the first time in the history of the Paris Olympics last year, said, "Severely disabled athletes need human resources to support their training and life, but there are many cases where families commit themselves due to low salary levels."We need support considering the characteristics of sports for the disabled." Jung Jae-sung, head of weightlifting, said, `When participating in international competitions as a national team, athletes with spinal cord disorders sometimes have to fast from the day before on long flights, not go to the bathroom, and sit on airplanes 24 hours a day. As a result, I am suffering from pressure ulcers"In consideration of this situation, support standards are established, and measures to upgrade air seats for the safety and convenience of athletes are also needed."I suggested.
Representative Jin Jong-oh said, "'Listening to the voice of the field directly made me more sympathetic to the difficulties faced by the players and the need for improvement.'"I was able to confirm once again the challenges that need to be solved for the development of sports for the disabled." We will do our best to ensure that the various opinions from this meeting lead to actual policies and support."
