Thank you. You have the same opinion as I about professional sports and I got new expressions.

I am glad such worthy players had won. Although I had not seen any of the matches, your description of the player's conduct under pressure heartens me.

I stopped watching sports decades ago...especially the Olympics...when Anabolic Steroid usage became obvious to me. Such cheating sickens me.
I hate seeing team sports turned into an ego fest of a few (American sports excel in this aspect). I despise poor sportsmanship...a poor winner, even more so, than a poor loser. The dancing and prancing done after a simple touch down or basket is simply a demonstration of poor moral behavior.

Sports are all about the conquering of the self. The sacrifice and drive necessary to excel in sports is a template to follow (correct morals) to excel in life. When people do it for greed and self aggrandizement...it greatly cheapens the experience.

By the way you have described the Japanese players...the sacrifice they must have made in their lives (not professionals) and their participation in sports because of their love for it...makes them especially worthy of the championship. It is for these reasons that I am glad they had won. It is their implied moral fortitude that makes them true champions.
