0:01:39 > 0:01:41Today is the first official day of the Winter Olympics!

0:01:41 > 0:01:45This year it's being held in PyeongChang in South Korea.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49And it's expected to be one of the coldest games on record -

0:01:49 > 0:01:52with temperatures around -20.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Athletes from all over the world will be competing in 15

0:01:56 > 0:01:57different winter sports.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00But how much do you know about the host country?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Here's Ricky, who's been finding out...

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Hello and welcome to South Korea.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Home of kimchi, K-Pop and now the 2018 Winter Olympics.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12But how much do you know about the country?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14We've got some fun facts to keep you in

0:02:14 > 0:02:19the know.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Did you know kimchi is one of the country's popular dishes but

0:02:21 > 0:02:26what on earth is it?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29It's made from spicy pickled cabbage which has been

0:02:29 > 0:02:31fermented in a jar for a number of months.

0:02:31 > 0:02:36Sounds a bit weird but it's actually super tasty.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Koreans have around 250 different recipes

0:02:38 > 0:02:42for kimchi and they usually eat it with every meal.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46Did you know that in Korea you are actually older?

0:02:46 > 0:02:50That's because they count birthdays a bit differently.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52In Korea you are born aged one instead of zero

0:02:52 > 0:02:55and on the new year you gain an extra year

0:02:55 > 0:02:56so if you were born in

0:02:56 > 0:02:59December by January you'd be two years old in Korea, even though

0:02:59 > 0:03:02you'd only be a few days old in the UK.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Music is a huge part of Korean culture and one

0:03:11 > 0:03:12of the biggest genres

0:03:12 > 0:03:18is K-Pop, short for Korean pop.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21The music often features big dance routines and lots of fashionable

0:03:21 > 0:03:24outfit changes, bands like BTS, Twice, XO and Black Pink are super

0:03:24 > 0:03:26popular in Korea and around the world and get

0:03:26 > 0:03:27millions of views for

0:03:27 > 0:03:33their videos.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Pyeongchang is the chosen location in Korea but this

0:03:35 > 0:03:43year's Olympics but did you know it also has its own slogan which goes

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Pyeongchang is the chosen location in Korea for this

0:03:45 > 0:03:49year's Olympics but did you know it also has its own slogan which goes

0:03:49 > 0:03:51'Happy 700 Pyeongchang', that's because around 84% of the area is

0:03:51 > 0:03:52made up of mountains.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54It sits an average height of 700 metres above

0:03:54 > 0:03:56sea level.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58This means the country gets lots of snow which is pretty

0:03:58 > 0:04:06great for winter sports!

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Thanks, Ricky, some great facts there.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14The opening ceremony is later this morning.

0:04:25 > 0:04:26She injured herself yesterday.

0:04:26 > 0:04:32Taking to Instagram, Katie shared a picture of her x-ray.

0:04:32 > 0:04:38She's said she is gutted.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42She is said to have emergency surgery today.

0:04:42 > 0:04:48Former Olympian Katherine Grainger's says the team will really miss her.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52She's an amazing athlete, she's had her fair share of injuries but she

0:04:52 > 0:04:56so resilient, she always comes back, you wouldn't want this to happen to

0:04:56 > 0:05:01any athlete but the rest of the team will miss her, she's a big member of

0:05:01 > 0:05:05the team, we will miss her, we wish her a great recovery and when she

0:05:05 > 0:05:09said and well she can start looking forward and focusing on the future

0:05:09 > 0:05:12and fulfilling the great potential that she has.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Now, if you could design your own school uniform how would it look?

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Bright and colourful?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18With some super-cool gadgets perhaps?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Well one school in Japan's fashionable capital city of Tokyo

0:05:20 > 0:05:23has given their school uniform a designer makeover -

0:05:23 > 0:05:23and parents aren't happy.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25This is the new look school kit.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26It costs a whopping £500.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32It was created by Italian fashion designer Armani

0:05:32 > 0:05:34and includes a bag and a hat.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Some parents have complained about the price tag and said

0:05:36 > 0:05:39a designer uniform sends the wrong message to kids about

0:05:39 > 0:05:40what's important.
