On July 26, at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, the announcers mixed up the Koreas. During the parade of delegations, when the South Korean team sailed on a boat along the Seine, it was announced as the DPRK team. The IOC later apologized for the error.

The Olympic Games will last until August 11. The winners and runners-up will receive medals that contain a metal fragment taken from the Eiffel Tower.
