Important sporting events are often intertwined with the world of politics and constitute a background for important decisions on the international stage. Such a situation has been currently happening on the Korean Peninsula, in connection with the ongoing XXIII Winter Olympics 2018 in Pyeongchang. The Olympic Games contributed to the reduction of high tension, which was the result of North Korea’s provocative nuclear policy in the last year. However, the observed thaw in the relations between North Korea and South Korea has only a tactical meaning and no major changes in Pyongyang’s policy can be expected in foreseeable future.
