The 2025 Spring Amateur Bowlers Tournament took place at the Pyongyang Gold Lane from March 4 to 6.
Many male and female amateurs participated in the competition.
It was held, divided into men’s and women’s singles, doubles, team and all-star events. The singles, doubles and team event took place six times respectively to decide the final rankings according to total scores.
“The contest served as an occasion for the amateur bowlers to exchange techniques while competing with each other and for the public to develop interest in bowling. The participation of a man with disabilities in the contest clearly shows that bowling is getting popular day by day,” said Kim Song Ha, vice-chairman of the Bowling Association of Korea.
“I entered the bowling tournament, though I have not been able to move my right arm and leg owing to polio since childhood. I wanted to overcome the obstacle and prove it in this game. Bowling is one of attractive sports,” said Kang Jong Hyok, the man with disabilities.
He scored several strikes in the men’s singles, to the admiration of spectators.
Choe Kyong Il and Ri Kum Bok won the men's and women's singles respectively, defeating odds-on favourites.
Choe won the men’s doubles together with Yu Song Jin and Kim Un Gyong and Han Kum Yong the women's doubles.
“I took the first place in the individual standings at the autumn amateur bowlers tournament last year but I failed to do so this time unfortunately. However, I won the doubles. I thank for organizing the game that helps me feel youthful vigour even in my 50s,” said Yu Song Jin.
Kim Un Jong, Kim Yong Gon, Kwon Song Il and Ri Jong Song won the team event in which each team consisted of one woman and three men.
Choe Kyong Il and Kim Un Gyong won the men’s and women’s all-star events respectively.
After the game, there was a ceremony to award prizes to the winners.
