North Korea's Poor Performance

We also had a lackluster performance, but
North Korea's performance is historically poor. Only 7 gold medals.
A total wipeout in wrestling, which we relied on, and a lack of results in women's judo.
The women's football team also lost after being blocked by Japan.
All seven gold medals were won in just one event: weightlifting.
The highlight of North Korea's performance in this competition
was an athlete named Son Il-sim stopping the 155-match winning streak of Japan's women's wrestling star, Akari Fujinami,
defeating her 10-0 right in Fujinami's home territory.
However, even that faded after losing to a Chinese athlete in the finals.
I wondered if Kim Jong-un might have invested more in sports using the windfall from participating in the Ukraine war,
but instead, this competition resulted in their worst performance ever.
