Wow i'm shocked North Korea are 6th in the medal table :O
with 3 golds and 1 bronze O_O

Kim Un Guk said of his win - "I won first place because the shining supreme commander Kim Jong Eun gave me power and courage.”

Similarly, Mr Om said. “My medal is due to the warm love and consideration of General Kim Jong-il and comrade Kim Jong-un.”

They have won 2 golds in weightlifting, and a gold in women's judo..

May sound crazy, but i'm actually planning on going on a guided tour to North Korea, should be interesting, a company has been doing tours there for 20+ years..

Yeah they're doing well but perhaps they're just starting well and the events are falling in their favour

I don't think they're actually that bad at sports, their mens football team are one of the best among the crapper teams and their women's team are 8th in the world or something. It would be weird going there though, think you pretty much have to have a guide with you the whole time so you only see what they want you to see

well they would probably get brutally tortured if they return to North Korea without winning a medal

Yeah, they only take you to select places, but it would be interesting hearing the tour guides spout the propaganda..
The tours are usually about 5/6 days

Just hard to beat other established countries in sports.. and well China :idc: buggers are good at everything.

They are doing well for a nation that isn't in the limelight for The olympics.
