Best Names from the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics

The Olympics are a platform for the greatest athletes from every corner of the world to compete against each other at the highest level while representing their countries in the name of international peace and unity. While spectators from around the world cheer for their fellow countrymen, they are also exposed to foreign cultures and traditions they wouldn't normally encounter.
