Book excerpt: Considering the slow start Korea had in 1945 when it had to go hat in hand to the public just to raise enough money to send its athletes to the Olympics, Korean sports have come a remarkable way in a relatively short amount of time. Today, Korea has become an economic power that is capable of hosting every major sporting event, including the Summer and Winter Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup. Not only is the country hosting these events?they are excelling at them. This accomplishment would not have been possible without the hard training and passion of both the nation’s athletes and supporters.
