PyeongChang organizers have scrapped plans to stage the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2018 Winter Olympics outside the host city.
Lee Jong-deok, South Korea’s minister for culture, sports and tourism, provincial Mayor Choi Moon-soon and 2018 Olympic organizing committee president Cho Yang-ho met this week to decide whether or not to renovate an existing sports stadium in nearby Gangneung to stage the ceremonies or build a new facility in PyeongChang.
The culture ministry later released a statement saying “the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies ... will be built in PyeongChang. After the Games, the relevant parties will discuss how to make use of the facility.” (AP)
