A major goof-up occurred during the opening ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics on Friday night.Just as the 143-strong South Korean delegation paraded on their boats on the River Seine, the vessel carrying the athletes was accidentally introduced by an announcer as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" — the official name of North Korea in English.
