Yuna Kim, Honorary Ambassador for the PyeongChang Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2018

November 13, 2017

Your Excellencies,

Good morning. 

I’d like to thank the President of the General Assembly and Member States for giving me the opportunity to address you this morning on the role of sport and the Olympic ideal in promoting peace. I stand proudly before you today as Honorary Ambassador to the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, a former figure skater, a two-time Olympian and as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to share my personal experience in witnessing the power sport has in breaking down the walls of race, region, language, and religion all around the world. 

123 years ago, the father of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, said, “the Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age.” Neither – we may like to add today – is the Olympic Spirit – the exclusive property of any one nation or region of the world nor of any one religion or faith. Now, the Olympic Charter states: “the goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.” I strongly believe this is the Spirit of the Olympic Games and it represents the potential and the power of sport.

I first experienced the same spirit and power when I was ten year old, watching the South and North Korean delegations walk into the Olympic stadium together. Today, I hope to witness this power again as the United Nations General Assembly adopts draft resolution A/72/L5.

I firmly believe the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will help spread the message of peace through one of the few languages that has the power to unite people around the world: the graceful and universal language of sport.

Indeed, PyeongChang represents perhaps the most sincere effort to cross frozen border[s] between South and North and to foster a peaceful environment. 

In particular, I’m confident that the upcoming PyeongChang Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will be one of the best platforms not only for transmitting this message but also for sharing the Olympic Spirit of peace for humanity with the entire world. 

Today, I’d like to promise to everyone that I will do my best to help PyeongChang 2018 serve as the model for (a) successful Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in all the years to come. 

In turn, I would like to ask for your continued support to help build a legacy of PyeongChang for the benefit of all future Olympic and Paralympic Games and the spirit of world peace. I humbly ask you to continue to support the PyeongChang Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and the ideals of the Olympic Truce Movement.

I hope to see you again next year at PyeongChang.

Thank you.
