The 30-member team, which participated in the World Championship Division 2 round-robin tournament in the city of Gangneung, returned commemorative keyrings and red ginseng boxes given by the host city and provincial government, the JoongAng Daily newspaper reports. The monetary value of the gifts - given to all 2,000 participants and officials at the event - was no more than 51,000 won ($41; £36), but one provincial official thought that the athletes "probably felt scared" to take them.
