Dec. 2 (UPI) -- North Korea has missed a deadline to confirm Olympic participation after the only North Korean athletes to qualify so far secured a place for the Pyeongchang games in late September.
The Korea Skating Union said Thursday that pairs skaters Ryom Tae-Ok, 18, and Kim Ju-Sik, 25, missed the Oct. 30 International Skating Union deadline to register for the 2018 Winter Games.
