According to this newspaper's reporting, the North Korean delegation has, during these Games, been found to hold self-criticism sessions frequently; completely block outside exposure and contact in and around competition venues; and effectively confine athletes to their accommodations outside competition hours. At weightlifting venues, where self-criticism sessions were conducted openly despite the presence of outsiders, as well as at soccer fields, shooting ranges, gymnastics venues and canoe courses, North Korean athletes were isolated from the "exchange and harmony" promoted by the Games. "Even when they stay alongside athletes from other countries at accommodations designated by the organizing committee, North
