The Paris Olympics 2024 was off to a disastrous start when South Korean athletes were mistakenly introduced to the North Korean athletes as they glided down the Seine in a sports boat. Later, the IOC officially apologized to South Korea claiming that the incident was deeply regrettable Overseas Korea succeeded in reviving the audience’s attention for the ceremony when the Olympic flag was raised upside down – this mistake was a new bright splash of South Korea in the Olympic Games. These errors belong to a list of other Olympic failures, the recent ones being a Chinese boxer who started celebrating during the 2016 Rio Olympics, only for the match to be declared a no-contest, a inoperative cauldron at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics which left a torchbearer in a very awkward position, lip-syncing gaffe during the national anthem at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and the awkward short-track speed skating
