There will shortly be some very red faces at NBC, the Winter Olympics network. I visited their site to check what was being said about Sarah Mansour (sadly out of the alpine events with injury) - only to find that while the map of Morocco was correct - the information was - er - rather strange.
According to NBC Morocco is " located about 90 miles south of Torino... a famous tourist spot and tax haven on the Mediterranean coast wedged between France and Italy. It has been an independent principality for more than 300 years. The late Princess Grace, formerly American movie star Grace Kelly, was married to Monaco's Prince Rainier.
There was much more of this gush... silly really. But if you want to check it out Morocco
I hope they change it soon. (update - 48 hours later and it is still not corrected!) Further update! Yes, they have fixed the problem! So Morocco is back in North Africa!
