South Korea - The Olympic Revolution of the New Millennium



I-Eva Peron, Korea and the Olympics
Before Korea has become one of the most industrialized countries throughout the Asian continent, Argentina-it is about 26 times larger than SK-was one of the world's six richest countries. Around the same time, they are getting off on the right foot for the Olympic Games.

is now Argentina-football-loving nation was home to sixty percent in Latin America, Olympic champions-water sports, boxing, water polo, rowing, track fields. At the 1948 London Games, they finished 13th in the medal standings. Unlike its neighbors, Argentina's Olympic champion at the root of that year, when Delphi Cabrera won the gold medal. On this occasion, Korea is certainly not happy, and ended up 32nd the medal table. Korea's first Olympic team was formed in the late 40's. But Koreans dare to dream the impossible.

In 1951 Pan American Games in Buenos Aires, the host country finished first in the medal tally, where the U.S. was ousted from the number one spot for the first time in the history of the Argentine continental Games.

A Argentina is now history. In past Olympics, only Latin American country that has won two gold, football and cycling. Ironically, Argentina, where the snow-mountains has never won an Olympic medal in the Winter Games. Then, in April 2009, Bolivian men's soccer team upset Argentina team, who coached the football player who became a coach, Diego Armando Maradona, 6-1.

In contrast to Argentina, Japan, Australia and Canada, SK has been ranked among the top five Olympic teams, along with China, America, Russia and Germany. The top team is the paradigm of the earth.

Korea expects to send about 50 Champs for the XXI Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Kanada.Zemlje athletic rulers also expected to send 250 Champs at the 2012 Olympics in London.

II-a small nation with big Ambition
From my perspective, I think that South Korea is the most successful nation in Olympic history. SK now become a source of inspiration for many of the Olympic countries worldwide. Of course, this is the model for small countries, from Austria to Brunei Darussalam and multi States such as India, Taiwan, Chile, Peru, Argentina.

Republic of Korea, also known as South Korea is about the size of Indiana. More than 49 million people live there, it is not far off the total in Ukraine. Unlike Venezuela-It has benefited from high oil prices, Peru and Angola, Korea has few natural resources. This nation has no oil, diamonds, gold, silver, zinc, natural gas and uranium.

However, in the last decades of the 20th century, the Korean government introduced a program of industrialization and expand obrazovanja.Vladari devoted more than 20 percent of the state budget for the development of human education, culture, social welfare, sport. SK is now one of the world's strongest economies.

III heavy-year
In the 1940's and 1950's, SK's war-torn nations of World War II and the Korean War. Therefore, it has become one of the poorest countries in the world. After World War II ended 35 years of Japanese domination of Korea's independence (1948 ).

from 1950 to '53 almost three million Koreans died. On the other hand, was, 500,000 Koreans living abroad. In the following decades, Korea has regulated military warlords. In 1990, SK has become a democratic country.

IV-Nation of sports fans
During the 1960s and 1970s, the policy reforms introduced many sports-strong emphasis on physical education in the educational system and have done many things to improve the sporting life in the national official policy that continued in the 1990s and the 2000s. In just a few years, they also promote sports that were not known in the country.

Success came slowly to prvi.Broj Asian awards increased from about 27 in 1958 to more than 65 in 1978. From 1964 to '76, the country Champs earned 12 Olympic medals. Another example, Korea's boxers, led by Moon Sung-Kil, won many global title in 1980.

Unlike Cuba, which had a lot of coaches from the Soviet Union, East Germany, Bulgaria, South Korea and Poland, SK did not have a foreign coach. All of his Olympic awards are produced by Korean coaches.

to support Seoul's candidature to host the 1988 Olympic Games, Korean chairmans hosted many international events, 1979 World Shooting Championship, 1982 Baseball World Cup, 1982 Global Championship Boxing and Korea Cup (volleyball)-and built a world-class stadiums.

V-boycott against South Korea,
During the Cold War, and particularly between 1950 and 1985, Korea has been isolated Olympic nations. This Asian country is considered an international pariah World Marxist and a few anti-American countries (Korea became a member of the UN in 1991 ).

1979 Seoul Women's FIBA World Championship boycotted by the Soviet Union and its allies. Three years later, Cuba's boxers, world and Olympic champions, were not allowed to compete in the World Cup to Fidel Castro. That same year, Cuba also has not sent a baseball player's World Cup in South Korea.

In 1986 North Korea has boycotted igre.Demokratska Asian People's Republic of Korea refused to send the Champs SK. After that, XXIV Seoul Summer Olympics were boycotted seven nations-Albania, Cuba, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Nicaragua, North Korea, and Seychelles. But sports officials sent several Champs in Moscow, Varna, Havana and Prague.

VI - Seoul Olympic Games-Gold Medal for Korea
During the session of the IOC in Germany in 1981, Seoul was selected as host country for 1988 Olympics, and began a new era for the country's sports development. Seoul defeated Nagoya, Japan town. That decision sparked a surprise around the world.

Thirty-eight years, Seoul has been destroyed by the Korean War but was rebuilt in record time. In the 70's and early 80's, Seoul has been a successful host to several international tournaments.

The IOC awarded the Olympic Games in Seoul by a margin of 15 votes. Kim Un-Yong-one of the world's best Olympic-czars was a key figure behind South Korea's bid to host the Summer Olympics 1988th He was runner-up, where Jacques Rogge was elected IOC President.

SK, anti-Marxist state in the 20th century, did not have full diplomatic relations with the Soviet World who won the last three Olympics and the People's Republic of China, a new Olympic member. Could have boycotted the Moscow Games in South Korea.

Secondly, Korea is not a multiparty state in the Asian region. In 1980, a demonstration organized by pro-Democratic groups turned into a bloody rebellion known as the "Kwangju Massacre." In 1974 South Korea's first lady was killed. After some time, the ruler Park Chung Hee was assassinated leader of the South Korean CIA in Seoul.

of the 24th Summer Olympics, SK won 12 gold medals and was one of the top four sports teams on the planet.

The opening ceremony was spektakularan.Sutradan, pictures were seen around the world, and from that moment on behalf of Korea is known everywhere. Meanwhile, representatives from 159 countries participated in the Olympics, including the USSR and China.

Seoul'88 a political blow to the communist pokreta.Kremlj sent Champs 514 for 1988 games. This trip is a blessing of the Soviet regime, which has boycotted the Olympics in the U.S. in 1984. Then, more than 290 Champs-eg. Felka Petra, Heike Drechsler, Kristin Otto of East Germany has sent Warlords-landslide victory for the Korean chairmans. But there were other friends too: Vietnamese rule permitted the Champs from Vietnam to attend the Summer Games. Of course, sport was an important diplomatic tool for Korea.

VII-democracy and Sports
The country's first multiparty presidential elections in December 1992, Kim Young Sam, a passionate human rights advocate, was elected to the Asian nation returned to civilian rule. It was a watershed moment.

Now South Korea is one of the most prominent democracy-human development and democracy in Asia and a model for more post-dictatorship countries. Since then, Korea has one of the most ambitious educational projects world-many young people study more than 11 hours.

According to the new democratic rulers, SK strengthened the sport system. Surely they wanted to be a center of excellence in Aziji.Olimpijske Korean team surprised the world when he emerged as a "new world power" in the 21 century. On the other hand, the country organized the successful 2002 World Cup and 2003 World University Games.

The two-year period between 2006 and 2008 Winter Games Summer Olympics, Korea has won 42 awards (19 gold, 13 silvers, 10 bronzes) and finished five in the unofficial team standings, behind China, Russia, Germany and the U.S. Korean delegation was backed up by President Roh Moo-HYN. With the Olympic and world title, South Korea has won several Asian gold medals. They competed with 45 countries in the Asian Olympic-type games.

before the 1992 Winter Olympics, Korea has not won any medal. Without the sporting tradition of Czechoslovakia and Sweden, Korea has more Winter Olympic medals from Spain and Japan. For this reason, the government lent its support to offer 2014 Olympic Winter Games. In Guatemala, Pyongchang only beaten during the Winter Olympic games that Sochi (Russia ).

VIII-from archery to wrestling
