Jeon Min-jae (47, Jeonbuk Association of Athletics Federations), the legend of athletics for the disabled, replaces his feelings with a pre-prepared article every time he finishes a big competition.
This is because at the age of five, he suffered from brain lesion disorder due to encephalitis of unknown cause, making it difficult to pronounce words or write quickly.
After the 2012 London Paralympics and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics, Jeon Min-jae gave a long footed speech and impressed people deeply.
I used a smartphone for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.
At the 2024 Paris Paralympics, Jeon Min-jae also delivered his feelings and stories in advance.
After finishing seventh in the women’s 100m (sports grade T36) final at the Paris Paralympics in Stade de France, France on the 5th (Korea time), Jeon Min-jae put down his smartphone, which was filled with letters, and pressed the play button with his big toe in front of reporters.

However, Jeon Min-jae said in his speech that he had not seen before.
“This year, there are many inconveniences in training because living assistance cannot come into the stadium,” he said.
“For the past few years, my mom came in as a living aid and was my hands and feet, but I had a lot of difficulties exercising because I was uncomfortable in many ways without my mom,” he said.
In particular, he said, “The diet is the most important for athletes, and although the trainer took good care of them, the meal time was the most inconvenient.”
“Although I need living assistance more than anyone else because my hands are uncomfortable and I can’t speak, one of the executives of the Athletics Federation strongly opposed it, so I couldn’t join it this year,” he said. “It was a very unfair situation from my point of view.”
In addition, the federation (executive) unfairly said with personal feelings, “A player Jeon Min-jae can do enough alone without living assistance,” he said, adding, “My intention was not reflected by 1%.
“My mom couldn’t come in as a living aid due to the executive’s authority that I strongly opposed. It is questionable whether the federation can abuse its power privately,” he said. “I didn’t attend the Iksan championship in April because I didn’t have a living aid.”
In this regard, national team coach Jang Sung-joon said, “There were many national team players, so there was a budget problem,” adding, “Our leaders did their best to help the players, but we know that no help can be as convenient as the family.”
