It's interesting. Juan Antonio (evil old fascist sympathiser that he is) is
quite chuffed that North and South Korea will compete under one flag in the
Olympics next week. Two athletes -- one from the North and one from the
South -- will hold the flag in the Opening Ceremony. Only happened once or
twice before apparently (some junior table tennis tournament somewhere and
some other minor event). Quite a coup, though I don't know what it signifies
in real terms.
