1. **tl;dr:** French had introduced athletes from >!temporarily occupied!< South Korea as DPRK athletes.

   >> As the boat carrying South Korean athletes passed on the Seine, the announcer introduced them as the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” – the official name of North Korea – in French and English.

2. Ehh, “regret”?? Surely a case of poor translation?

   “I regret that you punched me in the face”

   It doesn’t work!
