The first day of the game, the 20th, was met with heavy snow, followed by a cold wave, and the early stages were the most stressful moments as we had to deal with it accordingly. We were able to overcome these difficulties by working through the night 스포츠토토존 to remove snow and implement the cold wave measures we had prepared.
