The gold medal was taken by the Canadian national team and the bronze medal by the Chinese national team.

Our national team continues the game by tossing and turning with China until the last lap Park Ji-won, the last runner, finally beat the Chinese player and showed his composure by holding a ceremony to shake his left index finger.

Regarding the ceremony, Park Ji-won said, “I made this gesture in the sense that I should not use my hands to see the Chinese player continue to use his hands to foul during the game.”
