The cheering audience suddenly turned mute the moment the electronic board displayed the final rankings of each country, as well as the medalists! Up until that point, everyone believed that the American Team would clinch the Penalty Shoot-Outs’ gold medal. After all, there was only a minute left in the game. However, within that short time frame, the situation was reversed and the country that won the gold medal was not America, but South Korea!

“Wo… woaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

The audience, who went silent for a moment, finally broke out into loud cheers and shouts. The Americans in the audience were all holding their heads in disbelief and frustration, the Japanese stared at the electronic display in a daze, while some just let out dejected laughs. However, no matter their reactions, one thing was certain. Korea won the gold medal.

[South… South Korea’s gold medal has just been confirmed!!! Everyone! Korea has won the gold medal in the very first event!!!]

President Kang Taehoon, a special commentator, jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly. He was shouting so loudly that the veins on his neck popped up.

All eyes were still focused on the representative teams, who could not hide their surprise, and the Korean Team standing in the middle of the stadium. That was when they saw Alexander stand up and approach the Korean Team.
