Still can't get over the fact that it was so close, and it could have easily been the Kazakh flag that is being raised.

That's the same thing I thought , it's like having Olympics in Netherlands then having next Olympics in Belgium or Serbia passing Olympics to Croatia , many similarities are existing between China and Korea in many fields , am not expecting much differences

It was also an unique chance to have a "less important" nation hosting the Olympics, won't happen any time soon... They hosted the Universiade last year, andt there was just sooo much snow (much more than Pyeongchang, and Beijing of course).

You mean that time when he became Olympic champion in fencing in 1976?
