Korea at the 2018 Winter Olympics


A unified team of South Korea and North Korea competed under the title "Korea" at the 2018 Winter Olympics in ice hockey.
At the 2018 Winter Olympics, the delegations from both the host nation South Korea and North Korea marched together in the opening ceremony under the Korean Unification Flag.

Background

In January 2018, it was announced that the South Korea women's national ice hockey team would be amalgamated with a group of North Korean players to form a single Korea women's national ice hockey team in the tournament. They competed under the country code "COR", from the abbreviation of French word "Corée". The anthem which played when the Korea team played in international ice hockey is the folk song "Arirang" instead of the national anthems of either South Korea or North Korea. The team's uniform featured the silhouette of the Korean peninsula with the text "Korea". Because of ongoing U.S. sanctions against North Korea, the uniforms were made by a Finnish company instead of official sponsor Nike.
The first match of the unified Korean women's ice hockey team was attended by various dignitaries, including International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, South Korean President Moon Jae-in, North Korean President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly Kim Yong-nam and North Korean Director of the Propaganda and Agitation Department of the Workers' Party of Korea Kim Yo-jong.
