Kwak Yoon-gi was delighted even at the moment of ending the Olympic stage.
He climbed up to the podium and laughed amongst the taller juniors, but it turned out to be a gift from the juniors.

Because he was a big and great player and a senior.]
And the last was decorated with a witty ceremony in which the five ring flags were changed to hearts.

It feels better to be here with my juniors.]
