Even though sharing the same culture and history, the two nations are rivals. The North is communist run and the South democratic. Technically, the two nations are still at war under the 1953 armtise agreement. However, today in Paris, both the North and South Korean athletes stood on the same podium receiving Silver and Bronz medals for the mixed double table tennis event. China beat North Korea for the gold while South Korea, who lost to China earlier, won the Bronz medal after beating Hong Kong. It's a true Olymopics moment when athletes from both sides of the DMZ interacted and took a selfie together, along with the Chinese gold medalists. No border, no political divide, nor military tension. Only peace and excellent competitions. That's what the Olympic spirit is about. Do you believe in building bridges, not walls? | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
