Before the competition starts, the world will come together for the spectacle that is the opening ceremony. North Korean athletes and performers will even appear in the South. Even political figures, like American Vice President Mike Pence is expected to appear and Kim Yo-jong, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s younger sister. This is all in addition to athletes expected to appear, like Shaun White, Lindsey Vonn, Mikaela Shiffrin and Chloe Kim.
Remember, while many networks, like NBC, NBCSN, CNBC, USA and the Olympic Channel, will air all the regular Olympic events, only NBC will have the ceremony.
