Coaching North Korea's Olympians
For several months last summer, Canadian figure skating coach Bruno Marcotte trained North Korea's Ryom Tae-Ok and Kim Ju-Sik, so far the only athletes from the country to qualify for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. This week North Korea announced it will participate in the Games, which begin 9 February in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
