13. Opening, Closing and Victory Ceremonies 406 "These Olympics are a milestone for Koreans who have accomplished great things and for all the peaceloving people of the world as we head toward the 21st century. All people of all nations that cherish the noble spirit of the Olympics, share with us the glory of these Games. "I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Korean people and to the entire Olympic family who have so diligently supported the Seoul Olympic Games. These Games will serve as a sign of the wonders we can accomplish together as we build a better future for all nations. "Now, it is my great honor to introduce the President of the International Olympic Committee, Mr. Juan Antonio Samaranch, a true leader of the Olympic movement and a champion of world peace." Park Seh-jik, President of the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee Welcoming address "Welcome to the athletes of the world! "After seven years of preparation, difficulties and hope, we are finally gathered in this wonderful Olympic Stadium to celebrate together the solemn opening of this great festival of friendship and peace: The Olympic Games. "One hundred and sixty National Olympic Committees, a record number in the history of Olympic participation, and 25 International Federations, are here today in the City of Seoul demonstrating once more to the world the strength and unity of our Olympic Movement. "May these Games be held in the true spirit of sports and Olympism, that is fraternity, friendship, and fair play. Peace and understanding are wishes shared by many around the world. Let me thank you all, athletes, officials, media representatives and spectators, both here and at home, for the part you have played in making the Olympic Movement one of the most effective forces in this regard. "Finally, on behalf of everyone, I should like to express our most sincere thanks to all members of the Organizing Committee who have spared no efforts to ensure the perfect staging of these Games, and our warmest appreciation to the people of Korea for their hospitality and generosity. Kamsa Hammida! "It is now my great honor to invite His Excellency Roh Tae Woo, President of the Republic of Korea, to proclaim the Games of the XXIVth Olympiad in Seoul open." Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of International Olympic Committee At 12:11 p.m. President Roh Tae Woo stood up smiling and declared the Games open: "I hereby declare the Seoul Olympic Games, the 24th Games of the modern Olympiad, to be open." After the declaration, a placard section, in which all the spectators participated, followed, showing "Harmony" and "Progress." At 12:13 p.m. eight Korean gold medalists from in the previous Olympic Games entered the stadium holding the Olympic Flag, led by a 103member Chuitadae, an ancient Korean military band. The Olympic Flag was handed over to six persons and was hoisted high to the Olympic Anthem. At that time, 2,400 white pigeons soared to the sky as symbols of freedom and peace. The 100,000 spectators who were watching the Olympic Flag and the pigeons spotted the Olympic torch bearer who was just coming in through the South Gate and burst into cheers and applause. It was 12:21 p.m. The torch made a debut at the Opening Ceremonies after a long trip which started at 11 a.m., August 23, in Greece. The torch was lit at the Temple of Hera in Olympia, the birthplace of the ancient Olympics, by the solar heat. The torch was relayed from Athens to Bangkok air-borne and landed on Cheju Island at 11 a.m., August 27, and after running 4,167.8 kilometers across the country for 21 nights and 22 days appeared at the Opening Ceremonies. The 75-year-old, former Olympic gold medalist Sohn Kee-chung brought in the torch into the stadium and handed it over to Im Chun-ae, a woman sprinter and triple gold medalist in Seoul Asian Games. After running the track once, Im passed the torch to Kim Won-tak, Chong Son-man and Son Mijong. They stood under the cauldron. At a height of 22 meters the stand stood without having any steps or stairs that might help the torch carriers reach it. While the spectators were curious about the method of lighting, the three people were carried slowly up by a lift. The spectators were happily surprised by the selection of the three less-known young torch carriers and the operation of the lift and shouted hurrahs and cheers. An overflowing feeling of excitement filled the air as the spectators' cheers mingled with the music created by a computerized system whose sound effect was very much like the simultaneous playing of 7,000 trumpets. Then athletes Huh Jae and Son Mi-na and judge Lee Hak-rae took Olympic oaths. At 12:31 p.m. the whole audience stood up and sang the national anthem of Korea together. From 12:33 p.m. the athletes exited fast through the South and North Gates. Epilogue (post-official ceremony events) After the official ceremony, seven performances were staged offering the spectators another wonderful set of entertainment and thought-provoking events. The seven works were titled "A Great Day," "Chaos," "Beyond All Barriers," "Silence," "New Sprouts," "Harmony" and "One World." At 12:48 p.m. a recreation of "A Great Day" when the world of human beings dawned and when all people on earth lived happily in peace was performed by 800 dancers. At that time, the skies were studded by colorful dots of parachutes. Fifty-two foreign parachutists belonging to the International Parachutists Association and 22 Korean parachutists were falling from a height of 4,000 meters to the Olympic Stadium which is only 830 meters round, presenting the viewers with a thrilling circus. At the stadium, the music "Korea Fantasia" composed by the late Ahn Ik-tay was played as if welcoming the parachutists. The parachutists were received by 800 performers of "Cha-il" (Tent) Dance and were turned into sunshades surrounded by the dancers' blue cloths. At 12:55 p.m. the scene changed to a fantastic stage of Flower Dance performed by 1,450 students of Taedong Commercial High School and Yomgwang Girls Commercial High School, expressing the yearning for peace created by the harmony of the heaven and earth.
