North Korea To Attend World Para Nordic Skiing Championships
PRINCE GEORGE — When the world comes to Prince George in February for the 2019 World Para Nordic Skiing Championships, there will be a handful of countries attending the event for the very first time.
While countries like Armenia, Tajikistan, and Iran are on the list, the one that stands out is North Korea.
The nation already made history this year by sending two para-athletes to the 2018 Winter Paralympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. This was in addition to the ten athletes they sent to the Olympics.
While no athletes came home with medals, the step clearly created some momentum as the nation is now prepared to send athletes to Prince George this winter to compete.
