Sliders from North Korea and South Korea may share a four-man sled in PyeongChang, with coaching provided by top international officials from Italy and the United States.
The sled wouldn’t be part of the actual Olympic competition, but one of the forerunning sleds sent down to test conditions before racing begins.
The plan hasn’t been finalized, and more talks are likely in the coming week at the International Olympic Committee headquarters in Switzerland.
International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation President and IOC member Ivo Ferriani of Italy initially presented the idea.
