Park carries torch, Pak flag for Korea in Winter Olympics
Inbee Park’s status as one of South Korea’s most important athletes was confirmed Friday during the Opening Ceremony at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Park was one of the final Olympic torch bearers, one of the last to run in the stadium.
South Korea’s affection for its female golfers was on display. Se Ri Pak, whose success launched the country’s rise to dominance, helped carry the South Korean flag into the stadium. So Yeon Ryu was also onsite as part of the opening.
The ceremony featured 2,900 athletes from 90 nations.
