Pyongyang, March 10 (KCNA) -- Physical culture has gained in popularity, drawing increasing public interest in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Kang Won Guk, an official of the Pyongyang Passenger and Freight Car Corps, told KCNA the atmosphere of sports activities pervades the corps.

Sports games are organized during breaks and in holidays in a diversified way so that everyone can take part in them, he said, adding:

The regularly-organized sports games have brought about good results.

We have always proved successful in sports contests held on the Ministry-of-Railways scale.

We also contributed to the ministry winning the male soccer event in the amateur group of the 11th National Games while Kim Song Jun, belonging to the corps, took the title in the 80kg category of the 7th National Ssirum (Korean wrestling) Tournament for Grand Bull Prize.

The increasing interest in sports activities helps make the working place full of vigor and optimism and boost railway transport.
