Whether or if athletes from North and South Korea communicated after the competition was a question posed to South Korean superstar Lim, according to the Washington Post.
He came clean and said, “We praised them both when they announced the silver medalists. We hardly exchanged words if such were the case.
Also, when asked whether there was any “rivalry” between the North Korean and South Korean teams, Lim said, “No, we did not.”
