    Pyeongchang will be hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics — but not every country is convinced that South Korea hosting is entirely safe. France has become the first country to come out and say that if South Korea cannot guarantee safety from their neighbor, North Korea, it will stay home for the Olympics. North Korea is currently involved in an international standoff over nuclear weapons that has some leaders uneasy.

    “If this gets worse and we do not have our security assured, then our French team will stay here,” Laura Flessel said, per RTL radio. “We will not put our team in danger.”

The short distance over 1.5 kilometers starts on the beach of Ma’agan, the long distance in Ha’on – both end at Zemach beach, where all participants are rewarded with a medal.’

    A Perth free-diver has described the ‘real life nightmare’ of swimming into approximately three tonnes of rubbish floating in the ocean.

    Julia Wheeler, 31, was horrified upon encountering the mass of human waste products including plastic bags, bottles, wrappers and containers that were trapping and suffocating marine life.

    The competitive freediver, who can reach 50m depths in one breath, was training off the coast of Bali, Indonesia when a fellow diver, Trista Fontana, spotted the litter travelling towards them.
