01-06-2009 19:32      KOC Official Launches Online Sports Newsletter

Yoon Kang-ro, one of Korea’s professional sports diplomats, will launch Asia’s first online sports newsletter later this week. By Do Je-hae Staff Reporter Yoon Kang-ro, a veteran official of the Korean Olympic Committee (KOC) and president of the International Sports Institute (ISI), now has a new role ― publisher of Asia’s first online sports newsletter. “S.O.S.’’ (SpotLight on SportLife), single-handedly created by Yoon, will be launched later this week for weekly publication. It will be electronically transmitted as a PDF file to members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), leaders of national Olympic committees, government, media and athletes, targeting anyone who has a stake in hosting or taking part in international sporting events. The idea for an online vehicle for publicizing Asia to the global sports community came from Yoon’s Asian colleagues at the IOC. ``They felt news outlets in the United States and Europe, such as Gamesbid or SportIntern, lacked our voice and suggested that I start an Asian equivalent,’’ Yoon said during a phone interview with The Korea Times. ``What separates S.O.S from its Western counterparts is that it goes beyond delivering just sports news. It provides, above other things, an introduction to the unique cultures of Korea and our neighbors,’’ Yoon added. Included in the first edition are cultural, humor and language segments, a 2009 sports calendar and the most recent updates on IOC activities. Yoon’s initiative is both significant and timely, in a year filled with major events on the international sports scene. The election of an IOC president and 8 new IOC members, the selection of the host city for the 2016 Olympic Games and the 13th Olympic Congress in Copenhagen are all scheduled to take place this year. Yoon has been a KOC official since 1982 and is now the deputy secretary general. He has also served as acting head of Korean delegations at numerous Olympic and Asian Games and was the secretary general of the 2010 and 2014 Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games bid committee. Having spent decades cultivating Korea’s potential as a sports powerhouse, Yoon has plenty to say on why Korea’s continued bids to host the Winter Olympics have come up short. ``We need to invest in fostering professional sports officials with diplomatic and language skills and enhance our image in the global sports community,’’ Yoon said. Publishing an online newsletter is just one of Yoon’s multifaceted efforts in sharing his expertise in sports diplomacy. Yoon is also the author of several publications, including the 2007 English-language book When Sport Meets the World Over Five Rings and contributes to various periodicals regularly about the issue. In 2004, he founded the International Sports Diplomacy Institute in Seoul, the first of its kind in Asia. jehaedo@gmail.com

l      Brief Introduction

 

This is the very first edition of “S.O.S.”(SportLight On SportLife) which will be characterized by some useful and interesting stories/episodes on how to improve and enhance the quality of our lifestyle both at home and at work around the Olympic Movement.

 

This is not simply the routine news letter delivering actual sporting news, but some tips for ‘Spot Light on your Sport Life’.

 

This is a casual and congenial weekly news letter sharing and caring for the sport movement: ‘For Sport, By Sport, Of Sport’.

 

This is the first-ever on-line News Letter on Sport issued from the Asian Continent.

 

I hope this newsletter titled “S.O.S.”(SpotLight On SportLife) finds you both in good spirit and good shape.

 

l      2009 deserves the title of “ Year of Sport”

 

2009 is also the ‘Year of Ox’ according to oriental way of counting years using the order of 12 zodiac animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, and Pig). The 12 zodiac signs rotate every 12 years. Therefore, the ‘Year of Ox’ comes every 12 years, i.e. 2021, 2033, etc.

 

Comte Jacques Rogge(IOC President) was born in 1942, the Year of Horse, likewise Marquis Juan Antonio Samaranch(IOC Honorary President) born in 1920, the Year of Monkey, Mr. Mario Vazquez Rana(ANOC President and IOC EB Member) born in 1932, the Year of Monkey. The corresponding zodiac animals for all other IOC Members are listed in my book titled “When Sport meets the World over Five Rings” published and distributed in 2007.

 

2009 will be an eventful year with the election of IOC President, election of up to 8 new IOC members, election of host city of the 2016 Olympic Games, and the holding of the 13^th Olympic Congress in Copenhagen in October.

 

2009 is the beginning year of the 7^th generation of worldwide Olympic marketing program (TOP VII: 2009-2012) which includes the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver and the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London.

l      Sportology

 

1.    What is ‘Sport’?

 

S:  Standard

P:  Program

O:  Orchestrating

R:  Re-Creation(through)

T:  Training (physically, mentally, psychologically)

 

Sport is an international language.

Sport is a force for peace.

Sport is a force for political weapon.

Sport is a multi-billion dollar business.

Sport is a global goose that lays golden eggs.

Sport is a stress killer.

Sport is a leisure-time scheduler.

Sport is a cure for powerlessness

Sport is a catharsis motivator.

Sport is a health guide.

Sport is a tool for educating youth.

Sport is not simply a matter of playing games and competing each other, but a matter of harmonizing and networking people without discrimination of any kind.

 

“The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport according to his or her needs.”(Olympic Charter)

 

 

 

 

 

*** About Feng Shui (Wind and Water Theory for the Better Human Life Energy)

 

 

Feng Shui literally means “Wind and Water”, and it is a practical theory that can be applied to our daily life. It is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals many ways to balance the energies of your environment to assure Health, Wealth, and Good Fortune both at home and at work.

 

Feng Shui Symbols have a rich, culturally specific history and meaning. Most of us are already familiar with the look of many ‘feng shui’ items such as Chinese coins tied with a red string, wind chimes, three legged toads, gods of wealth, etc, etc.

 

1.    “Always Sit Facing the Door”

 

‘If you have your back to the door, you could be betrayed, cheated, or stabbed in the back.’

‘Otherwise good work luck is completely missing.’

 

2. “Find the Power Spot in Your Office”

 

    ‘The best location for your desk is the far corner diagonal to the entrance. This is the power spot in any office and is most auspicious.’(To be continued)

 

 

*** Collection  Series of  Joke and Humor for the Olympic Movement

 

What a world without joke and humor!

Without jokes and humors, what a boring and dry world!

Joke properly all the time. Be humorous!

Take your work serious, but not yourself. ‘Sport’ means not only ‘hard work’, ‘serious discussions’, and ‘performance enhancement’, but also ‘Fun’, ‘Friendship’, and ‘Fraternity’ forever.

If you laugh, the whole world laughs, too.

But if you cry, then you are all alone.

 

The Olympic Movement will be happy, and its family members likewise with:

 

-Two spoonfuls of your sweet smile,

-Two spoonfuls of your soft breath,

-And two spoonfuls of you warm heart.

 

It will make the world ‘Soft, Sweet, Smooth, Speedy, Swift, Swelling, Simple, and Steady with Smiles.

 

Without jokes, humor, and fun, our sport life would remain dull, boring, and monotonous.

Therefore, I would like to begin to introduce some of the jokes, humor, and interesting stories that I heard, used, and cherished so far.

 

1. Value Judgments by Nationality

 

Before making a purchase, a typical American shopper might ask:

“Is this the latest model?”

A  German might ask: “Is this sturdy and long lasting?”

A  French might ask: “Is this the latest fashion?”

A  Japanese might ask: “Is this the best quality?”

For a Korean shopper, the question is always “Is this genuine/real or counterfeit?”

 

2. Nationalism in Archaeology for telecommunications system history

 

A group of American archaeologists were digging at a site. They found a piece of copper buried at 50 meters and promptly announced that Americans had installed an underground network of telephone lines across the continent ten thousand years ago.

 

Meanwhile a group of Russian archaeologists dug 100 meters deep and retrieved a piece of glass. The Russians then announced that they had been using an underground fiberglass telecommunications cable network for twenty thousand years.

 

Not to be done, a group of Korean archaeologists dug as far down as 300 meters, but couldn’t find anything. They promptly announced that their ancestors had used wireless cellular phones some 50 thousand years ago.

 

l      Thank you, Olympic Movement!

 

Thanks to your support, I became the first Korean recipient of the ANOC Merit Award at the time of the 16^th ANOC General Assembly held in Beijing, China on 7 April 2008. It was not only my personal honor but also a commitment and duty for me to continue to contribute to the global Olympic Movement for many years to come.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the 205 NOCs for endorsement and congratulations, especially for a benevolent and charismatic leadership of Sr. Mario Vazquez Rana, ANOC President and Chairman of the IOC Solidarity Commission.

 

“Happy New Year!”

 

Rocky YOON
