Photo goes around the world
North Korea keeps quiet about selfie with South Koreans
Two days after North Korea won its first Olympic table tennis medal in eight years, the state media also reported on it. In a concise four-sentence report on Thursday, the North Korean news agency KCNA explained that Ri Jong-sik and Kim Kum-yong had won silver in the mixed competition. The selfie that South Korea's bronze medalists took on the podium, which subsequently went around the world, was not mentioned.
North Korea did not win a medal in Pyeongchang (South Korea) in 2018 and skipped the 2021 Summer Games in Tokyo due to the restrictive coronavirus border policy.
This was followed by a suspension by the IOC because North Korea had not sent a team, which resulted in its absence from the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.
