North Korean skaters begin training for PyeongChang Games

Song, 25, was taken to a nearby hospital, and officials later said he was released after a laceration on his ankle was treated.
The skaters are among a total of 22 North Korean athletes who will be attending the Winter Games.
The arrival of the North Koreans has been well documented in the South, especially after a large North Korea flag, covering three floors, was hung out the balcony.
Although other countries have also put up their flags, North Korea's was described to be the largest.
Displaying a North Korean national flag in a public place is prohibited in South Korea under its anti-North Korean security law. But exceptions are made when hosting international events.
The decision to allow the flags was questioned by many, as South Korean skiers were not allowed to display their flag on their uniforms during a goodwill event at a North Korean ski resort.
