The happiest athlete on the field is the South Korean athlete because he was supposed to enlist in the military in August. By earning a bronze medal he was granted an exemption from mandatory military service and so he organized the selfie in celebration. The joke is if he had placed any lower he would be sent to military camp as soon as he returns home.
The bronze medal match was called, "Saving Private Lim" 😆
