The wait is finally over-- the 23rd Winter Olympics will officially kick off its three-week run in PyeongChang,... with the Opening Ceremony set to start in a little over twelve hours from now,... 8 PM Korea time,... 6AM eastern time in the U.S. and noon in London.
During the two-hour ceremony,... all 92 participating nations will be walking into the stadium with their national flags held aloft,... and a showcase of the culture and history of South Korea will be the highlight.
It's going to be a historic day for Korea in another way... as the two Koreas will be marching together under the Unification flag with two torch bearers, one from each side.
Spectators at the open-air stadium will be given with several items to protect themselves from the elements like a raincoat, blanket and hand warmers.
Under the theme of "Peace in Motion," the two-hour ceremony will also have a large VIP audience,... such as President Moon Jae-in, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as well as the North Korean delegation, including Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong.
