Korean athletes returning from the Beijing Olympics parade to Seoul Plaza during a welcoming ceremony in front of City Hall. People greeted them as they walked to Seoul Plaza.
South Korea finished seventh in the total medal tally with 13 gold, 10 silver and eight bronze medals, ranking second among Asian nations after China but ahead of Japan. South Korea’s performance far exceeded its original goal of winning 10 golds and reaching the top 10 in the overall ranking and was its best performance in Olympic history.
The welcoming parade for the South Korean athletes was held on Taepyeongro Street and Seoul Plaza from 6:40 p.m. on Monday.
