SEOUL – Organizers of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang have rejected suggestions by a North Korea's International Olympic Committee (IOC) member that some events could take place in the DPRK.
PyeongChang’s organizing committee said that legal and geographic reasons meant that it would be impractical and logistically difficult for the ski resort of Masik – currently under construction in North Korea – to play host to skiing events in 2018.
