• In the beginning of Olympics, hundreds of computers operating for it were hacked and Korea refused to name the origin of crime. Later found out it was Russian military behind the hack. Many people could have thought it since Russia was banned in the games due to previous doping cases. Russian athletes participated, but not in the name Russia, and Russian flags were prohibited to wave. 

• This is the icon of PyeongChang Olympics. It's interesting they designed with Korean symbol ㅍ(p) and ㅊ(ch). PyeongChang is written as 평창.
