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.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or summer:
“I am fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason.”
—Edmund H. North (19111990)
“Over the threshold
Nothing like death stepped, nothing like death paused,
Nothing like death has such hair, arms so raised.
Why are your feet bare? Was not death to come?
Why is he not here? What summer have you broken from?”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
