My Take

There is barely a paper trail on Cho Jea-ki, and that is exactly why I want to write his name down. A Korean judoka born in 1950, schooled at Dong-A University, he stood on the mat at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Reaching that stage in that era meant countless hours of being thrown and throwing back, of discipline most of us will never know. The absence of records does not diminish him; it makes remembrance feel like a small duty. One man bowed onto an Olympic mat and gave everything, and honestly, that alone earns my quiet, sincere respect.
