Chapter 081: Champion's Appearance

"Hello, everyone. Good afternoon. I'm your old friend Steve. God bless. After eight months away from the studio, I'm finally back in this seat. I've missed this place and all of you. Thank God."

At the HBO broadcast center, host Steve Mandanda sat in front of the spacious desk, looking into the camera with excitement, tears glistening in his eyes as if he'd regained something he loved dearly, struggling to control his emotions.

"Steve, watch your emotions, or the boss will keep you on field hosting. Of course, if you want to keep playing the field, forget I said anything."

Ms. Tina, the program producer, spoke through the headset.

Steve quickly composed himself and, smiling, said, "As everyone knows, the Olympic Games concluded yesterday in Han Jing. The United States team won a total of 37 gold medals, 38 silver medals, 36 bronze medals—111 medals in all, topping the medal tally among all participating nations."
