These are the outrageous North Korean propaganda artworks that show the country triumphing in everything from football and athletics to draughts.
The paintings, which were predominantly produced in the 2000s, capture the nation's alleged sporting achievements.
In the images, the North Korean football team can be seen crying tears of joy as they win the World Cup.
While another picture shows the fictitious moment DPRK athlete Jong Song-ok defeated her western opponents at the 2000 Olympic Games to win gold.
The 43-year-old athlete did in fact win gold for North Korea at the 1999 World Athletics Championships in Seville.
But it was reported that Kim Jong-il personally banned her from competing at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney or any other athletic competitions – in fear of national embarrassment if she lost the next race.
A final painting shows an unimpressed North Korean girl effortlessly challenge a middle-aged American man to a draughts match.
This isn't the first time the North Korean regime has faked sporting triumphs in order to instil nationalistic pride into their people.
In 2014, a video appeared online showing North Korea's state controlled media telling their football fans that the national team had reached the World Cup final in Brazil.
Kim Jong-un is a notorious fan of Manchester United football team and last month allegedly declared his hopes that North Korea players will be joining the Premier League.
It was also reported in DPRK press that Kim's late father landed eleven holes-in-one in his first and only ever round of golf in 1994.
The North Korean national football team have only appeared in the World Cup twice in their history.
They famously reached the quarter-finals at their World Cup debut in 1966, beating Italy in the group stage. In 2009, the team qualified for the 2010 World Cup but lost 7-0 to Portugal.
There were reports that the North Korean government punished the coach and players of the team by sending them on a hard labour in mines. However, FIFA's investigators could not confirm this.
