The Korean people were friendly, respectful and accommodating in every sense of the word and proved to be gracious hosts. The athletes’ march involving over 5,200 participants and 46 countries, was followed by a spectacular opening ceremony consisting of a variety of outstanding displays and acts by amazing local talent. Over 35,000 spectators were in attendance.
