Two Koreas to march in Opening Ceremony

7/08/2008 9:30:00 PM.  | Joel Labi
North and South Korea won't be marching as one as tomorrow night's Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony.

IOC president Jacques Rogge says they wanted to continue a tradition, but couldn't strike a deal.

"We've tried to have this in Beijing, unfortunately it was not possible. The IOC has taken many initiatives to bring together the two national Olympic committees."

"There was a great willingness on the side of sport to have a joint march like we had in Sydney and Athens."
