Pyeong-Chang-a-Long - Winter Olympics 2018
I'm not particularly following this little get together, but interesting things keep cropping up. And we need more threads anyway.

This guy is indomitable.
'Nothing's impossible': Tonga’s lone skier strikes out for Olympic glory in South Korea | World news | The Guardian
He was at Rio 2016, noted for appearing in the opening ceremony in oil instead of a shirt, and then wanted a new challenge.
Cross-country skiing.
He hadn't even seen snow at that point. I mean, Tonga. He's qualified, and is there now.

Re: Pyeong-Chang-a-Long - Winter Olympics 2018
This might be more significant in the long run but I am less impressed - I suspect it's all for show:
Winter Olympics ceremony sees landmark handshake | South Korea News | Al Jazeera
Quote:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, who landed at the Incheon airport of Friday, was seen shaking hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in during the opening ceremony.

In a rare show of unity, athletes from South and North Korea will march together under a "unification flag".
