During the Olympic Games in Paris, a heartwarming moment took place as athletes from South Korea, North Korea, and China came together for a memorable selfie. The mixed doubles table tennis event saw North Korea take the silver medal, while South Korea claimed the bronze. China emerged victorious with the gold medal.
After the medal ceremony, South Korea's Lim Jong-hoon captured the moment by taking out his phone to snap a picture with representatives from all three teams. The athletes, including Ri Jong Sik and Kim Kum Yong from North Korea, Shin Yu-bin from South Korea, and Chinese duo Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, were all beaming with joy.
In an interview with Korean media, Lim shared that he congratulated the other teams on their silver medal win before taking the picture. It was a rare display of unity between the two countries, especially amidst the current tensions between them.
It is worth noting that athletes have previously been discouraged from taking selfies on the podium. However, this summer in Paris, the organizers have promoted 'The Victory Selfie' initiative, allowing athletes to capture the special moment of their victory.
This heartwarming moment serves as a reminder that the Olympic Games bring people from different nations together, promoting unity and sportsmanship. As the Paris 2024 Olympics continue, let's keep an eye out for more inspiring moments like this one. Stay tuned for updates on The Agency's live blog.
