Kim Un-Yong ``I Will Break The Biased View Toward Colored Races.``

``For me, to break the barrier of races is the urgent assignment.`` ``This election will be one that cracks the biased opinion toward colored races``, said yesterday the Korean Sports Council Chairman and an IOC member Kim Un-Yong, who will challenge the president-ship as a colored person for the first time in history.

Chairman Kim showed a confidence toward the election on 16th saying, ``The fact that American new-medias have written positive articles of me recently is an encouraging phenomenon, and it is an evidence of people`s support for me.``

Chairman Kim, who are handling busy schedule to participate various meetings from 7 am to midnight, and meeting IOC members from around the world to express his political opinion, seemed a bit tired, but his appearance was cheerful.

``Some said that it will be disadvantageous for me if Beijing becomes the host city for the 2008 Olympic.`` ``But, I don’t think so.`` ``It will be a good chance to strengthen the solidarity among Asia and African IOC members``, he emphasized.

After the statement, ``Although it is going to be a difficult fight, there will be a good result since I did my best``, chairman Kim entered into the conference room, where reporters were not allowed to participate.
