Biography
Jong Yong-hyok (born January 3, 1988 in Pyongyang) is a North Korean pair skater. He competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics with partner Phyo Yong-myong, with whom he teamed up in the fall of 2005. They withdrew after the short program. Jong qualified a spot for the Olympics with his previous partner Sung Mi-hyang. However, Sung was not age-eligible for the Olympics, so he switched partners for the Olympics and returned to partnering with Sung after the Olympics.
Jong has also competed with Jang Kyong-ok and Paek Mi-hyang. He is the 2004 North Korean national champion with Paek and the 2007-2009 North Korean national champion with Sung.
