Hello everyone. I'm Steven Choi with the sports brief.<br />The 2015 Summer Universiade in Gwangju will be one of the biggest global sporting events this year with 170 countries taking part, including our neighbors to the north.<br />North Korea plans to send 108 athletes and officials to the university-level event to participate in eight sports, including gymnastics and athletics, which they've excelled in.<br /><br />The North has not missing a single Universiade in the last decade, so the move was widely expected.<br /><br />With that, Gwangju organizers expressed support for the torch relay to make a run through the border village of Panmunjom as a gesture of goodwill, ahead of event's start on July 3rd.
