Curlers are curling and skiers are jumping in Pyeongchang, but the Winter Olympics do not formally kick off until Friday night with the opening ceremony. Here’s what to expect.
Yes, it’s wintertime. But does it have to be 20 degrees (or less) with bitter winds? By some accounts it will be the coldest Winter Games since 1994. And the ceremony? Yeah, it’s in an outdoor stadium. That has led some athletes to talk about skipping it for fear of hypothermia.
Not every athlete and fan was happy with the news that some North Koreans would join the South Korean women’s ice hockey team.
