LONDON, Eng. - The first events of the olympics are already underway, but not without 
some controversy.  

Olympic organizers are apologizing to North Korea for inadvertantly flying the South Korean flag during a women's soccer match.  


The game was delayed for nearly an hour after the North Korean team refused to take the field with the wrong flag being displayed.  

The north koreans got  their revenge with a 2-nil victory over colombia.
