The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said, "In this event organized with the Korea Sports Association for the Disabled (Chairman Chung Jin-wan), more than 100 athletes and their families, including Chung Jin-wan, chairman of the Korea Sports Association for the Disabled, and Yang Oh-yeol, head of the ▴, will report the results of the ▴ competition and announce the best player of the ▴ competition." Minister Choi Hwi-young delivers a bouquet of flowers to the athletes who wrote the new history of the Winter Paralympics and expresses encouragement and appreciation for the challenges beyond the limits.
The South Korean team won two gold medals, four silver medals, and one bronze medal to rank 13th overall in the Winter Paralympics, the best ever in the history of participating in the Winter Paralympics. In particular, Kim Yun-ji, who set a new record for the most medals in a single competition by winning five medals, including the first Korean woman's gold medal at the Winter Paralympics, Lee Je-hyuk, who won the first medal in Korean Paralympic snowboarding history, and Baek Hye-jin and Lee Yong-seok, who gave wheelchair curling medals to Korea in 16 years, set a historic record by winning medals covering snow and ice events.
"Our athletes' indomitable will and brilliant fruits have marked a new milestone in the history of winter sports in Korea," Minister Choi Hui-young said. "I deeply respect all officials, including athletes who have given pride to the people with the best performance ever, their families, and leaders who have devoted themselves to them." The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said, "We will continue to provide policy support so that players can continue their dreams in a better environment."
