Question about PRK

[Thorlifter]

I'm watching the Olympics and I see someone from PRK. I'm thinking is this People's Republic of Korea???? So I look it up and Wiki (yeah I know) says PRK only existed from 1945-46

So what is this? And is it South Korea? North Korea? Both?

It's North Korea...

 

[GrauGeist]

North Korea's IOC code is PRK

So far they've won 2 Gold (weightlifing, gymnastics), 3 Silver (weightlifting) and 2 Bronze (shooting, ping pong) updated as of this evening.

Well, unless you you're watching North Korean TV, then they are sweeping the Olympics, there's food-a-plenty and everyone is happy...very happy...

oops...you're right!!

Should I change the term "Ping Pong" to "Table Tennis" just to be safe?

Or maybe its original name (Mexican, I think !) - Pok ta Pok.

Many a true word said in jest, the EU has produced a table combining all EU countries which has wiped wiped UK off it completely,
Shameless EU puts itself TOP of the Olympics table – and REMOVES Great Britain completely

The English county of Yorkshire sits 8th in the medal table which is 4 places higher than it finished in 2012. Non of this manages to erase Fiji (population 850,000) thrashing the GB team 43-7 in the Rugby.
