North Korea's Participation in Olympics
After a four-party meeting between North, South Korea, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and organizing committee of the 2018 Olympics in the Swiss city of Lausanne on January 20, the IOC declared that the unified Olympic team of the two Korean states will take part in women's ice hockey under a "unification flag", while athletes from North Korea will compete in figure skating, short track and skiing.
Besides, the two countries’ national teams will march together under a "unification flag" at the Olympics opening ceremony.
The sports issue became a point of rapprochement between the Koreas after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's New Year address. In the speech, he voiced his support of the idea to send country's athletes to the Olympics.
However, the rapprochement didn't go so smooth: despite initial plans of North Korea to send performers to the Olympics, Pyongyang has canceled their participation on January 29, citing the South Korean media, which, according to the North, was undermining the sincere efforts undertaken by the DPRK in connection with the Olympics and denouncing the festivities to be held in North Korea.
