South Korea wrongly introduced as North Korea at OlympicsOlympic organisers have issued a "deep apology" after South Korea's athletes were mistakenly introduced as North Korea at the opening ceremony in Paris. As the excited, flag-waving team floated down the River Seine, both French and English announcers introduced them as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" - the official name of North Korea. The same name was then used - correctly - when North Korea's delegation sailed past. The two Koreas have been divided since the end of World War Two, with tensions between the states further escalating recently.
