The finals of the "Sports Contest of Workers in the Field of Metallurgical Industry--2023" took place at Kim Il Sung Stadium in the capital city of Pyongyang on May 1.
They were played by workers of the Chollima Steel Complex and the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex.
The team of the Chollima Steel Complex defeated the team of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex 2:0.
When prizes were awarded to the winning team players, all the spectators congratulated them with a loud applause.
That evening, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made a phone call to a leading official of the Cabinet to learn about the result of the sports contest.
Receiving a report from the official, he said with great pleasure that the finals of the "Sports Contest of Workers in the Field of Metallurgical Industry--2023" held at Kim Il Sung Stadium seemed to be successful and that the players from the Chollima Steel Complex would be happy with the prizes they received after winning the football match.
All of a sudden, however, he was concerned about the players from the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex who might be dispirited and said they should be awarded the same prizes as those given to the players from the Chollima Steel Complex.
It is widely accepted that prizes are awarded in the sports games according to ranking.
But Kim Jong Un was so concerned about the workers of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex who might be disappointed after losing the match and took such kind measures.
This is how the unusual "awarding ceremony" was held.
