윤강로의 스포츠세상 - Rocky YOON's Sport World

Madame Chair Gunilla Lindberg,

Distinguished IOC CoCom Members ,

Dear Presidents and Secretaries General of the Winter International Federations,

Friends and Colleagues of the Olympic Movement,

1) Greetings

(1) It is my great honor and pleasure to welcome you back to PyeongChang in that this is the very first meeting since the main office of POCOG moved into the Olympic Capital of PyeongChang and after Rio2016. And this is my first IOC CoCom meeting since I took office as President and CEO of POCOG>

(2) It is all the more important that we are here together from the long planning stage to the crucial implementation stage leading up to the Games.

2.)  G-500 Days To Go Events and Timely Visit by IOC President

(1) On the occasion of the G-500days to go for the Games, Dr. Thomas Bach, IOC President along with Madame Chair Gunilla Lindberg, and Christophe Dubi, IOC Executive Director for the Olympic Games has visited the main office of POCOG, and gave an impressive special lecture to the entire 850-member POCOG family.

(2) President Bach stressed the importance of the Olympic Values of Excellence, Friendship, and Respect, reiterating the essence of the Olympic Agenda 2020, the strategic roadmap of the future Olympic Movement.

(3) It clearly reflected the Olympic spirit of close collaboration, sustainability, flexibility, long-lasting legacy, passion to be connected through the Games, global friendship, K-volunteers, at the juncture of G-500 days to go from the planning to the implementation stage.

(4) On the same occasion, PyeongChang hosted the meaningful first official meeting with the three Sports-related Ministers from Korea, Japan and China, representing PyeongChang 2018, Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022 Olympic Games consecutively to be held in Asia for the next 12years.

(5) President Bach and myself also joined and witnessed the spirit and passion of the Olympic Movement from the inter-ministerial get-together here in PyeongChang.

(6) As a result, the PyeongChang Declaration was adopted unanimously for cooperation and collaboration and co-prosperity through the exchange and sharing of know-how and experiences from the Gams in order to ensure the successful Games one after another.

(7) I can assure you that this is to realize the spirit of “Unity in Diversity” as showcased in the Olympic Agenda 2020.

3)  From Planning To Implementation

(1) From today, we are embarking on our significant journey, named “From Planning to Implementation for the Games”.

(2) In order to achieve our common goal, IOC and International Federations and the POCOG and the stakeholders of the Olympic Movement should move forward together hand in hand, side by side, and with one big heart.

(3) Since I started to work as President at the POCOG from June, I focused on the pending issues and a pile of documents, page by page and line by line.

(4)  As a result, many of them have been either resolved or in the process of being resolved in a close collaboration with the IOC and the relevant International Federations and National Federations.

(5) As indicated and specified in the file, we will work together even more closely to find optimal solutions for the next steps.

4)  Recent Developments by POCOG

(1) As of 9 September, initial ticketing allocation strategy was announced and sent to NOCs and ATRs in due course.

(2) As recently as 22 September, the POCOG and the Bank of Korea unveiled commemorative coins for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games. And 290,500 sets comprised of gold, silver and bronze coins will be issued for sale starting from 18 November. 

(3) As of 30 September, we closed down the recruitment process of K-volunteers for the Games. As a result, the total number of applicants both at home and abroad exceeded almost 4 times more than actually needed during the Games period.

(4) The final process for the relevant review and selection is well underway, with the naming and slogan of K-volunteers provisionally screened by the Selection Panel, following public applications procedures through nation-wide open competition.

(5) The 4^th organizational restructuring and staffing of POCOG have been drafted in line with the operational stage leading up to the Games.

5)  Test Events

(1) With the 28 Test Events quite rapidly approaching from next month till next April, the POCOG has been investing a lot of time and energy to prepare and stage in a successful and collective manner with the relevant stakeholders including all levels of Governments and National Federations.

6)  Discussions and Consultations ahead

(1) From today, the POCOG is ready to report on the progress and discuss and listen to the members of the IOC Coordination Commission and the winter International Federations also in attendance at the on-going meetings, covering General Updates, Focus Areas, Parallel Sessions and Side meeting as programmed in the Agenda.

7)  Closing

Therefore, may I take this opportunity to reiterate my warm welcome to Madame Chair Gunilla Lindberg and all the CoCom members and International Federations family members.

I hope our meeting for two days will be fruitful.

Thank you.

 B.  Closing Remarks by POCOG President (7 October/Draft)

Madame Chair Gunilla Lindberg,

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are now wrapping up our two day session of the 7^th Meeting of the IOC Coordination Commission for the 23^rd Olympic Winter Games, PyeongChang 2018.

During our meetings here in PyeongChang, I believe and confirm that we have become even closer friends in a warm atmosphere for a common goal as we are in the same Olympic boat.

You have physically witnessed the progress of on-going all venue construction including the venue refurbishment status in Alpensia Sliding Center, PyeongChang Olympic Village, IBC, PyeongChang Olympic Stadium, Main Office of the POCOG, as well as Gangneung Coastal Cluster Venues and Gangneung Olympic Village, and others.

During the two days meeting, we have covered a wide variety of items related to the Games operations, and confirmed what would need to be done together in the coming days and months, and at the same time we could find solutions about focus areas and even gray areas leading to better consequences.

Of course, there still remain some challenges to be overcome, and some RFPs (requests for proposal) to be sorted out not only by the IOC but also by the International Federations concerned.

Now we are ready to turning the challenges into opportunities.

Together, we can raise the bar higher.

In the meantime, may I take this opportunity to look forward to your continued support and collaboration to the great success of the PyeongChang Games in 2018 when the global Olympic passion will be connected from heart to heart.

I wish you a safe and pleasant trip back home, and see you again soon in the near future.

Again, thank you for your good job done well.
