Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) — Among the DPRK’s ten best players for 2025 is Won Myong Gyong, a wrestler of the Jangsan Sports Club.

She began cultivating the basic skills of wrestling at the age of twelve.

After becoming a wrestler of the Jangsan Sports Club, she won the 2016 Asian junior wrestling championship, drawing public attention.

Experts praised her, who has good physical fitness and special skills in attacking, as a promising player and a possessor of sufficient ability to compete even with stars in the future.

For her, last year was a year when she had mixed feelings of regret and success.

She took the third place at the 2025 Asian Wrestling Championship but won a gold medal at the 2025 World Wrestling Championship.

The remarkable success, achieved in less than six months after the Asian Wrestling Championship, clearly shows her potential.
