North Korea At The 2004 Summer Olympics
North Korea competed as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.
Both North Korea and South Korea marched together in the Parade of Nations at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies under the Korean Unification Flag, a white flag showing the united Korean peninsula in blue. They had two flagbearers carrying the flag together at each occasion, one representing the North and the other representing the South. The female athletes and staff wore red blazers, while their male counterparts wore blue. Although they marched together, the teams competed separately and had separate medal tallies.

Of what was either cloud or smoke
From north to south across the blue;
A piercing little star was through.”
