Olympic Medals Unlikely to Be Awarded to North Koreans
Olympic Medals Unlikely to Be Awarded to North Koreans Twenty athletes from North Korea will be participating in South's Winter Olympics. However, it's unlikely they will take home any medals. Only a ice skating pair qualifies to win a medal, according to media reports. North's athletes are participating in a total five different sports. North's last Olympic win was in 1992. But the deal is a big win for the International Olympic Committee and athletes from North and South Korea.
