When Syrian athletes entered, MBC aired a caption that said: "Rich underground resources; a civil war that has been going on for 10 years." Another MBC caption described the Marshall Islands as "once a nuclear test site for the U.S." And when Ukraine's athletes entered the parade, MBC showed an image of the Chernobyl disaster -- the world's worst nuclear accident. When Italy walked on, the broadcaster pulled up an image of a pizza. For Norway, a salmon fillet was shown. An image of Dracula was used for Team Romania. And for Team El Salvador, a country where Bitcoin is legal tender, a picture representing the cryptocurrency was shown.
