Olympics: North Korea suspended from IOC after Tokyo no-show

:North Korea has been suspended from the International Olympic Committee until the end of 2022, meaning it will miss out on the Beijing Winter Games, after failing to send a team to the Tokyo Olympics, IOC President Thomas Bach said on Wednesday.

Bach said the decision meant the North Korean Olympic Committee would not receive financial support during the suspension and would definitively forfeit support that had previously been withheld due to sanctions. North Korea was the only country not to send athletes to Tokyo and the IOC said they had been warned of the consequences of not participating.
