The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) claims it will not join the Tokyo Olympics because of the coronavirus pandemic. According to the DPRK Sports Ministry, the move is to protect athletes from the global health crisis. It will be the first time the DPRK has missed a Summer Olympics since 1988 during the Cold War.
