Paris Olympics: The Olympic Games have begun in France. Breaking away from the tradition of national parades held in stadiums, the six-kilometer parade here began from the Austerlitz Bridge. In which more than 6,800 athletes from 205 countries and a refugee Olympic team were also aboard in 85 boats. A large number of players did not participate in the opening ceremony due to competitions being held on Saturday. Meanwhile, South Korea objected to an incident in the opening ceremony. In which South Korean players were introduced in the name of North Korea. After this, South Korea asked the organizers not to make such a mistake again.
Attention was drawn to ensure that such a mistake does not occur again
In fact, when the boat of South Korean players passed by, the announcer introduced them as 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea'. Which is the official name of North Korea. The name of this country was repeated in both French and English. Later, South Korea's Deputy Minister of Sports and Culture Jung Mi-ran asked International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach not to make the same mistake again.
The South Korean delegation consists of 143 athletes.
The Olympic Committee announced on this issue, saying, 'We are sorry that South Korea was wrongly presented as North Korea during the opening ceremony.' But South Korea immediately took the matter seriously and sent a message to the Olympic Committee to correct the mistake. Let us tell you that there are 143 athletes in the South Korean delegation, who are participating in 21 events. The South Korean team is participating in the Olympics for the first time since Rio 2016.
