N. Koreans visit Olympic venues for second day
By Yi Whan-woo
An eight-member North Korean delegation visited venues for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics on Friday, the second day of their visit.
The delegation, led by Yun Yong-bok, a senior official at the North's sports ministry, toured the International Broadcast Center and the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium where the opening and closing ceremonies will take place. They then moved on to the Alpensia Cross-Country Center and the Yongpyong Alpine Center.
They also visited a hotel where members of the North's National Olympic Committee will stay during the Olympics.
The delegation will leave PyeongChang and come to Seoul, Saturday. They will check lodgings for the North's taekwondo demonstration team and a performance hall in Sangam-dong, western Seoul, where the demonstration is expected to take place.
They will return to North Korea through a land route that lies across the suspended joint industrial park in Gaeseong -- the same path it used to come to the South.
The athletes of the two Koreas are set to march together under the unified Korean flag at the opening ceremony on Feb. 9.
Twenty-two North Korean athletes will compete in five disciplines -- the unified women's hockey team, figure skating, short track speed skating, downhill skiing and cross-country skiing.
On Thursday, the delegates arrived here with the women's hockey team, which joined the South Korean team for a joint training session in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province.
On the same day, they looked at skating venues in Gangneung, about 60 kilometers northeast of PyeongChang.
