In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the 88 Seoul Olympics, Seoul City hosted the 『2018 Seoul Sports Talent Share Festival』 together with Olympic sports stars at the Peace Plaza in the Olympic Park.

□ The 2018 Seoul Sports Talent Share Festival, which was started in 2015, is an event in celebrating its 4th year this year and is a sporting event in our city that commemorates the 30th anniversary of the 88 Seoul Olympics.

Major distinguished guest included vice-chairman Park Eun-soo of the Seoul Sports Association for the Differently-abled; senior vice-president Joo Won ho of the Seoul Sports Association for the Differently-abled; director Joo Yong-Tae of the Seoul Tourism and Sports department; and vice-chairperson Noh Seung-Jae of the culture, sports, and tourism committee on the Seoul Metropolitan Council who graced us with their presence.

In this event, we provided stations where a total of 16 sports including 3 differently-able events(wheelchair basketball, wheelchair ping pong, wheelchair curling) and 13 non-differently-able events(archery, boxing, cycling, gymnastics, soccer, handball, triathlon, rowing, taekwondo, shooting, billiards, weightlifting, inline skating) could be experienced firsthand.

Participants were able to experience firsthand sports that were hard to come by ordinarily, and professional sports players affiliated with Seoul city conducted 1 on 1 one-point lessons with citizens to greatly aid the citizens to understand and enjoy each event.

It was a citizen participation event which included experiential sports and cultural events, and once again this year various events were organized where we could socialize with many citizens. This included various activities and sights such as sports star signing events, Olympic awards ceremony themed photo zone, fitness evaluation and sports consultation programs, taekwondo demonstration team performance, and busking performances etc.

The 2018 Seoul Talent Share Festival which started in 2015 and is in its 4th year! We look forward to the event taking its place as a fun sports festival representative of Seoul where the citizens of Seoul of all ages can participate firsthand
