Park Tu Ik, the first torchbearer of the Pyongyang leg, holds the torch, April 28, 2008. Park, 72, had scored the winner in the DPRK's 1-0 win over Italy to send his team to the World Cup soccer quarter-finals in 1966. The 18th leg of the Beijing Olympic torch relay started at 10:15 a.m. local time on Monday in Pyongyang. This is the first ever Olympic torch relay on DPRK soil. (Xinhua) |
