<Anchor> For the
past 13 days, the Tokyo Paralympic Games that delivered a warm impression to the world have come to an end. Our team will return to Korea today (the 6th) and continue the challenge to Paris three years later.
This is Lee Jeong-chan, a reporter from Tokyo.

The theme of the closing ceremony, which started brilliantly with the countdown, was 'harmonious dissonance'.
It contains the Paralympic spirit that beautiful harmony can be achieved even with different appearances.
Our team's rider was 'Boccia Sign' Howon Jeong, and the Afghan players who took part in the tournament dramatically did not participate in the opening ceremony, but they were together at the closing ceremony, adding to the emotion.
The Paralympic Games flag was delivered to the mayor of Paris three years later, and at the same time, an acrobatics performed by the disabled performer Karim Langdu in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris added to the excitement.
The torch, which burned for 13 days, was extinguished, and once again colorful fireworks lit the sky, and the closing ceremony came to an end.
Korea ranked 41st overall with 2 gold medals, 10 silver medals, and 12 bronze medals in this competition.
Although we did not reach our goal, we were deeply moved by our indomitable challenge.
The table tennis team won 13 medals, the most in history, and Korea's Boccia built a gold medal trophy for the ninth consecutive time.
The challenge itself was inspiring.
'Iron Lady' Lee Do-yeon sprinted on a bicycle, the last gift of her father, who passed away last year, and archery player Jo Jang-moon flew an arrow of emotion by competing to keep her promise to her husband who left for the sky.
Like our team's slogan, 'We have won, we will win again', the challenge itself was a victory.
Now, the challenge of the Taegeuk Warriors will lead to Paris three years later.
