IOC to cover all costs for North Korean atheletes if they compete in 2018 PyeongChang Olympics

The International Olympic Committee is reaching out to North Korea in a bid to get athletes from the reclusive state to join the fun in PyeongChang.
Radio Free Asia reported Saturday that the IOC is willing to cover all costs for North Korean athletes through its Olympic Solidarity program, if they participate in the 2018 Winter Games.
The aim of Olympic Solidarity is to give assistance to National Olympic Committees, especially for those with the greatest needs.
