Praising Athletes as Genuine Patriots

 2025.1.6.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"The sportsmen, who have the flag of our Republic hoisted by winning in international games, are true patriots, heroes and smart persons."

The eye-opening successes in international games, demonstrating the dignity and honor of the DPRK to the world, are unthinkable apart from the paternal love which the respected General Secretary has given to the athletes of the DPRK.

One day in October, 2012 the respected General Secretary personally summoned the athletes who won the 30th Olympic Games in spite of being busy with national affairs and highly praised them who flew the national flag by winning international games as genuine patriots, heroes and dandies.

Looking at an athlete with endearing eyes, he asked him how old he was and asked him about his future with parental affection.

That day the respected General Secretary highly appreciated that the victory of the players in the games thus the victory of the honorary event were a due result of their strenuous and strenuous training, fully displaying the consciousness that the height of the honor platform is the height of the country.

He also showed great benevolence to highly appreciate and highly commend the athletes and coaches who trained all day on the training ground with the resolve to win international games and fly the flag of the DPRK all over the world without ever walking along the parkway in their colorful clothes.
