PHYO Yong Myong / JONG Yong Hyok SP at 2006 Winter Olympics


Phyo Yong-myong (born November 26, 1989 in Pyongyang) is a North Korean figure skater who has competed internationally as both a singles skater and a pairs skater.

As a pair skater, she competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics with partner Jong Yong-hyok, with whom she teamed up in the fall of 2005. They withdrew after the short program at the Olympics. Jong had qualified a spot for the Olympics with his usual partner Sung Mi-hyang. However, Sung was not age-eligible for the Olympics, so he switched partners for the Olympics. Phyo and Jong ended their partnership following the Olympics.

As a single skater, she is a 2008 North Korean bronze medalist.
