[imText1]The Daily NK has obtained images from the North Korean women\u2019s national table tennis team training facility located in the Mankyungdae-district of Pyongyang. On the bulletin board in the gymnasium, the team\u2019s main aim is posted, \u201cTo go forth with an ideological resolve to give joy to the revered General.\u201d The General, Kim Jong Il\u2019s name is posted in red ink. <\/p>\n
[imText2]The notices were posted to encourage players to do their best at the World Table Tennis Championships in Moscow, which finished on the 30th. <\/p>\n
The images, which The Daily NK received from a Chinese civilian returning from North Korea, also show a list of demands for players: to train themselves to face tense of games; to develop strategies based on a deep understanding of the opponents; to take their own serving and receiving skills one level higher; and to control their body condition so as to be able to take part in 100% of training.<\/p>\n
On another notice, \u201cLet\u2019s eliminate doping,\u201d it explained the notion of doping and emphasized, \u201cFrom the social, moral and medical point of view, doping is a serious action. Let\u2019s step forward into the anti-doping struggle knowing the dangers of doping.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other notices analyze North Korea\u2019s competitors and offer ways to deal with other players, especially South Korean players Kim Kyung A, Kim Mee Young and Lee Eung Hee. The notices elaborate on these players\u2019 special skills and their weak points. <\/p>\n
Despite these efforts, however, the North Korean women\u2019s table tennis team lost their clash with the South Korean team 3-0 in the first round, presumably failing to give much pleasure to the General. <\/p>\n
