SEOUL, South Korea – North and South Korea want to field a joint women’s hockey team at the Pyeongchang Olympics, and they have relayed their position to the International Olympic Committee, officials in Seoul said Monday.
A joint team at the games in South Korea would require IOC approval. But if realized, it would be the Koreas’ first unified Olympic team, leaving a major mark in their sports diplomacy that often mirrors their rocky political ties.
