Ten North Korean skaters and skiers arrived in South Korea on Thursday to take part in the Winter Olympics, which opens next week. Final preparations for the Olympics have brought a temporary reduction in tensions over the North Korean government’s nuclear weapons program. A total of 22 North Korean athletes have won special permission from the International Olympic Committee to compete in the winter games. The event will take place from February 9 through the 25 in PyeongChang, South Korea. A group of North Korean female hockey players arrived in South Korea last week. They are joining with South Korean players to form the first unified Korean team in the Olympics. Until recently, North Korea had no athletes approved to compete in the games.
