In a long meeting with Kirsty Coventry, who was elected as the new chairman of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in March, President Yoo shared opinions on ways to communicate international sports closely between the Korean Olympic Committee and the IOC. He worked together on the IOC Athletes' Committee and formed a deep consensus as a former Olympic gold medalist representing Asia and Africa. We sympathize with the spread of the Olympic spirit and the importance of strengthening international exchanges through sports, and we will continue to seek various cooperation measures in the future.
