Segwang High School defeated Gyeongbuk High School to win the Blue Dragon Flag high school baseball championship.

The players of Segwang High School, who conquered a national tournament for the first time in 44 years, reportedly performed a special celebration. Let's take a look.

Segwang High School took an early lead by scoring 4 runs in the beginning of the game, and added two more runs in the 9th inning to secure a 6-2 victory over Gyeongbuk High School.

Segwang High School enjoyed the emotional moment of reaching the top of a national tournament for the first time in 44 years, since 1982.

The players embraced and savored the joy, and one celebration in particular was quite impressive.

The players sat in a line, pulling their hands back and forth while shouting slogans with great energy.

They were mimicking the rowing celebration from Norway that drew significant attention during this World Cup.

Except for the fact that they used an icebox instead of a big drum, it looked exactly like the original.
