First Day of Sports Observed
Pyongyang, January 10 (KCNA) -- A group running was held Sunday by officials of ministries and national institutions on the first day of sports this year.

They left Kim Il Sung Square and ran through streets of the city shouting slogans "human bombs", "devoted defence" and so on despite the cold of the mid-winter, encouraged by loudspeaker vans' dynamic agitation and the songs played by them in their van.

The event stirred up the atmosphere of the capital alive with the drive for effecting a great surge.

Similar sport events took place in provinces, cities and counties of the country on the same day.
