The Secret of Championship
At the recent London Olympics Korean
athletes set new Olympic and world records, thereby grabbing several gold
medals.
Dwelling upon the successes, world
media reported that Korean athletes were raising a rush of wind at the London
Olympiad.
Om Yun Chol who won gold medal in
men’s 56 kg weight lifting category said:
“I could
improve my ability rapidly under the loving care of the great leader Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim
Jong Un.”
Here is an anecdote proving the truth
of his words.
One June day in 1972 Kim Jong Il visited the football training ground
on Rungna Islet to see how the players of the April 25 football team were
training.
He asked an official what their
strong points were.
Answered that they are speedy and
relatively high in individual technique, Kim Jong Il asked again what their weak points were then.
The official answered that they were
not good in shooting in a decisive moment. Kim Jong Il agreed with him, but asked once again if he had not thought of something
else.
Replied not, Kim Jong Il pointed out that some players were
weak in fighting spirit.
Kim Jong Il stressed the need to give full play
to fighting spirit in games, teaching that fighting spirit campaign is a method
of fighting by displaying infinite devotion and self-sacrificing spirit with an
indomitable will.
He went on: “The athletes should, in
the future, display fighting spirit in both trainings and games. Fighting
spirit is not attained of itself. The athletes can foster fighting spirit only
through persistent trainings, in the course of cultivating pluck for match in
particular.”
Afterwards, Korean athletes were
successful in international games by fighting with their unique playing methods
taught by Kim Jong Il.
When athletes achieved successes in
international games, Kim
Jong Il said such people
are heroes in peacetime and gave them everything he could.
Like this, leader Kim Jong Il inspired Korean athletes with
unrivalled pluck and grit and taught Korean style athletic principles and
methods to bring them up into star players.
Under the loving care of Marshal Kim Jong Un the Korean athletes are successful
today too with the fighting spirit.
The brilliant successes of Korean
athletes in the recent Olympiad were achieved by their noble loyalty and matchless
mental power to prove themselves worthy of the trust and affection of leader Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim Jong Un.
