The torch, which left Taegu at 8:30 a.m. on September 3, was passed to a Kyongsangbuk-do runner at the entrance of Hyosong Women's University and headed toward the ancient city of Kyongju via Yongchon. At Kyongju, the torch was carried by runners clad in ancient Hwarang and Wonhwa costumes to the Kyongju Railroad Station, and from there headed toward Ulsan, while folk group dances, mask parade and various folk plays were unfolding in many parts of the city. At 8 p.m. the torch arrived at the Pohang Gymnasium where the flame was carried to a mobile flame bowl for an overnight stop. On September 4, a torch relay runner left Pohang, heading for Kumi, and on September 5, a runner left Kumi for Taejon. Jogging over Chupungryong ridge, and passing through Yongdong and Okchon, the runners entered the Seoul-Pusan Expressway. After a 15minute run along the expressway, the runners reached the Taejon interchange where the torch was passed onto the first Chungchongnam-do runner. At Taejon plaza, the flame was put on the mobile cauldron for an overnight stay. At 9:30 a.m. on September 6, a runner left Taejon, and the flame was carried along Honam Expressway for an hour and 25 minutes to reach Chongju city in Chollabuk-do. In Chongju, the arrival of the torch was celebrated with various folk and cultural events including Donghak Kabo Festival, the ssirum wrestling match, and a farm music band contest. In Pusan, the torch relay was of a unique fashion involving a mock pleasure boat and escorts clad in oarsman's clothes. As the runners traversed the vast Mankyong paddy field to reach Kimje city, monks from Kumsansa Temple took over the torch, while in Chonju where the flame made an overnight stop, the torch was carried by wheelchaired handicapped students from Sonhwa School. At 8 p.m. the torch reached the plaza in front of Chollabuk-do provincial government; the governor carried the flame to a mobile cauldron. From there, the torch was carried along the central part of the Korean peninsula, from Chonju to Kongju city on September 7, from Kongju to Chongju city on September 8, and from Chongju to Chungju city on September 9. Departing Chungju on September 10, the runners raced northward as rain fell from early morning. The 335-kilometer course from Chungju to Kangnung was a rugged route traversing Taebaek ridge, the spinal cord of the Korean peninsula; in the rainfall, the rugged course was difficult for the torch relay convoy of more than 30 vehicles. In Chechon city, four disabled persons relayed the torch on wheelchairs. In Kangnung city, six male and six female runners, clad in costumes designed for the famous Yi Dynasty scholar Yulgok and his mother Shin Saimdang, relayed the torch.

382 12. Torch Relay 33 Along the panoramic coastline in the east, the torch runners raced northward on September 11; passing through Sokcho, the torch reached Tongil Chonmangdae (observation platform) in Kosong at 2:27 p.m., where a 10minute ceremony was held to pray for national unification. Climbing up and down Chinburyong ridge, the runners reached Sinnamri ferry station in Inje, where the torch was carried aboard Kwaeryong-ho ferry for an hour-long cruise on the Soyang lake, reaching Soyang Dam in Chunchon. The torch was passed to the first Chunchon city runner while a traditional military band was playing in the rain. After two hours, the torch runners reached Chunchon city hall. The torch relay course on September 12 traversing through six cities and counties in Kangwon-do was a relatively short distance covering about 90 kilometers. In Wonju, 20 U.S. soldiers stationed in Korea joined foreign runners, while five primary school children clad in ancient costumes and straw hats took part in the relay, to the delight of reporters and photographers. On September 13, the torch again entered Chungchongbuk-do to traverse Chungwon-gun and Umsong-gun. At Changhowon rotary, a borderline between Chungchongbuk-do and Kyonggi-do, a lantern caravan welcomed the arrival of the torch. At the entrance of Suwon city where the torch was to stay overnight, a civilian mobile patrol team relayed the torch using moterbikes. At the Suwon Stadium where the flame stayed overnight in a mobile cauldron, 5,271 students staged performances including a royal procession, children's farm band, and hoopdance. The event marked the most spectacular performance yet of all the festivals staged to celebrate the overnight stay of the torch. At 10 a.m. on September 14, the torch left Suwon for Inchon. Reaching Anyang city, the torch was borne on horseback for a 2.2-kilometer section. The torch was also carried by a couple working for the Anyang city government. At the plaza in front of the Inchon city hall, a mask dance, fan dance by the Inchon City Dance Company and students, and Samulnori folk music were part of the festivities awaiting the arrival of the torch. The last section leading to the Inchon city hall was marked by the relay by a skipper aboard a mock ocean liner mounted on a large truck symbolizing the port city of Inchon. At 8:30 a.m. on September 15, the torch left Inchon as the city's arts groups jointly staged a performance and some 2,000 colored balloons soared high in the sky. Along a 9.8-kilometer section leading to the entrance of the expressway, members of the Inchon Women Cyclists Association rode with the torch. Following the cyclists was a convoy of 21 other cyclists clad as puppets or as bridegrooms. Arriving in Puchon in Kyonggi-do, the torch was carried aboard a flowerfestooned vehicle and a convoy of vehicles led the torch relay, traversing Seoul city section along Seoul-Inchon Expressway and Nambu circular road, and entering Paju-gun past Koyang-gun. The 16.7-kilometer section from Yongtae-ri to Imjinkak was a sort of an international torch relay led by runners representing some 90 National Olympic Committees. This was an unprecedented event in the history of the Olympics and was highly rated as a magnificent demonstration of Olympic harmony. The torch was carried by vehicle on a 65.6-kilometer section from Imjinkak to Tongduchon. The torch arrived at Uijongbu at 8:30 p.m. for an overnight stop. At 11:36 a.m. on September 16 the torch left Uijongbu as a group of folk masked dancers sent the convoy off, leaving behind the long journey across country for 20 days and taking the final course leading to the host city of Seoul. It was at 2:17 p.m. that the torch reached Manguri bordering Seoul city. While the torch runners were covering the 43.6-kilometer distance up to the city hall, various festival programs including the Pongsan Mask Dance, Namsadang Folk Play, Korean traditional changgo drum dance, fan dance, rhythmic gymnastics were staged at 44 locations by 2,550 performers from 58 groups. Confetti were showered from atop buildings lining the relay course. When the torch arrived at the city hall, a rainshower poured down, but the multitude of citizens braved the weather to greet the arrival of the torch. Seoul's mayor greeted the arrival with a warm welcoming message and pop singer Patti Kim sang "Hail to Seoul." The torch left the city plaza at 9:20 a.m. on September 17 on the last leg of the relay crisscrossing the city only hours before the historic opening of the Seoul Olympic Games. The Korean national flag, Taegukki, lined the course and there were loud cheers as torch runners covered the 27.7 kilometers from Namdaemun to the Olympic Stadium via Seoul Station, Han River Bridge, Kangnam Bridge, Teheranro, Paekche Tumuli Street, and the Olympic Road. The last runner, Kang Tu-tae, a basketball player, reached the entrance of the Olympic Stadium at 12:20 p.m., bringing the long torch relay to its dramatic conclusion at the Opening Ceremony. 12.4.3 —————————————– Torch at Yachting Center The torch for the yachting competition was separated from the torch for the Seoul Olympics at Yongdusan Park in Pusan. The Seoul Olympic torch, arriving at Pusan on August 28, made an overnight stop at Yongdusan Park before heading for Seoul, but the flame for the yachting competition stayed at the park's cauldron until September 19 when the flame was passed to a torch. The torch relay covered 18.2 kilometers in 17 sections. The torch relay for the yachting competition was done under the responsibility of the Pusan Torch Relay Committee headed by Pusan mayor. From the park to the yachting center the torch relay traversed major road sections in the heart of the port city; involved in the relay were 17 runners, 34 second runners, and 238 escorts. The torch left the park in a gala ceremony held at 8:40 a.m. on September 19, with Pusan mayor, leaders of many organizations, sportsmen and some 200 others attending. The torch which was ignited by the Pusan mayor from the flame on the cauldron was passed to the first runner, Lee Chae-yong, to start the relay at 8:50 a.m. Passing along Daechongro, by the Pusan Rail Station, along Munhyon rotary and Subi intersection, the flame was placed on the cauldron at 11 a.m. by World Boxing Association flyweight champion Chang Jong-gu.
