North Korean Sports Poster
“Let’s Pass in all the Sports Activities!”

The People’s Physical Fitness Assessment

In a track and field competition to pass the people’s physical fitness assessment, a worker breaks through the winning tape. The artist, Kye Sang Hua, emphasises this by having him also slice through the slogan.

Sports

Various workers are running, doing the shot-put, pull-ups, the horizontal bar, and the high jump. 

A troop of the Worker-Peasant Red Guards (volunteers who make up a home guard/militia) are cutting across the scene at a quick march pace.

The smoking industrial background and cityscape emphasise that a healthy workforce is needed to keep the country’s industrial output running at pace.

KOREAN TRANSLATION

인민체력검정에 합격하기위한 륙상경기에서 우승테프를 끊고들어오는 로동자.철봉과 너비뛰기를 하고있고 로농적위대원들이 집단달리기를 하고있다.
