Kim Seon-nyeo, the mother of 'disabled swimming star' Jo Ki-seong (sports grade S4, Busan Sports Association for the Disabled), watched her son perform well in an international competition at the stadium for the first time in nine years.

Cho Gi-seong won a silver medal in the men's 100m freestyle swimming final at the 2022 Hangzhou Para Asian Games held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center swimming pool in Zhejiang, China, on the 24th with a time of 1 minute 30.03 seconds.

The 100m freestyle final was originally scheduled to be held on the afternoon of the 24th, but was moved to the morning.

It was good news for Jo Ki-seong's family who visited Hangzhou.

All tickets for the swimming competition on the afternoon of the 24th were sold out, and Jo Ki-seong's family had to return to Korea on the 25th.

As the 100m freestyle finals were moved to the morning of the 24th, the family was able to get tickets and cheer for Cho Gi-seong at the stadium.

His mother, Kim Seon-nyeo, said, “It’s been 9 years since she came to see her son play in an international competition.

“It was the first time since I saw it at the 2014 Incheon Asian Para Games,” he said. “It was really good to see it in person.”

“It was even better to win a medal,” he said.

The 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games and the 2018 Indonesia Para Asian Games were too far for the family to travel, and the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games held in 2021 were difficult to attend in person due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). It was impossible.

Ki-seong Jo has fallen into a severe slump over the past five years.

At the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, he ranked 5th in the 100m freestyle and 6th in the 200m freestyle.

As his disability worsened, it also affected his records.

Cho Gi-seong, who cannot use his lower body due to a congenital brain lesion, is having difficulty performing reverse exercises as his shoulder joints and muscles are becoming stiffer over time.

Due to his continued struggles, Jo Ki-seong even considered retirement at one point.

but. His family's faith in Jo Ki-seong did not change.

Seon-nyeo Kim said, "My son doesn't talk about himself very much.

We don't talk about things that upset us and just say, 'It's okay,'" and "He sometimes says, 'If it's too hard, it's okay to retire.'

But now his main sport is breaststroke."

He smiled happily, saying, “As I changed and started making records little by little, I felt at ease and relaxed.

Now, I’ve gathered my resolve and am working hard with the determination to ‘let’s try one more time.’”

His father, Myung-hwan Cho, also smiled and said, “He is a very bright kid, so I’m not worried.”

After the finals on the 24th, Ki-seong Jo and his family met briefly.

Jo Ki-seong held the hands of his older sister, mother, and father in turn.

Actually, there was no need for a long conversation.

Unfortunately, tickets were not available on the afternoon of the 24th, when Jo Ki-sung's award ceremony was held, so her family was unable to see Jo Ki-sung receive her medal.

However, the family suppressed their regrets and cheered for Jo Ki-seong, saying, "I hope Ki-seong does as well as he has done so far.

This may be his last time participating in international competitions, so I hope he does even better."
