Korea crisis no problem for Pyeongchang - North Korean IOC member

LIMA (Reuters) - The Pyeongchang winter Olympics in February will not be affected by the escalating crisis on the peninsula and North Korea will hopefully be able to send athletes, the country's International Olympic Committee member Chang Ung said on Friday.

Chang, a vice president of the North Korean Olympic Committee (NOC), said that so far no athletes from North Korea had qualified and any participation was subject to an NOC decision.
