The two countries that did not participate in the games, North Korea and Myanmar, only participated in the opening ceremony.[1] According to the Games' official website, Kuwaiti athletes participated the Games under the Olympic flag because the Kuwait Olympic Committee was suspended due to political interference in January 2010.
