We took the KTX bullet train at Seoul Station.

I was ready to go after arriving at the main entrance of the competition venue.

After arriving at Nambu University Water Polo Competition Venue, we showed our tickets, went through security checks and took our seats.

South Africa and Korea square off in their first men's water polo match. In its first game, the Korean team scored its historic first goal in a world championship in a 30-1 loss to Russia.

Fans cheer "Dae-han Min-guk" to liven up a rainy day.

The announcer here says the Korean women’s water polo team started training for the championships just a month ago.

The coach of the Korean women's polo team explains strategy.

Though the game is one-sided, the Korean men's water polo team scores three goals, after posting its first score in history against Russia and registering two against Canada.

My friend and I headed to the venue for diving and swimming competitions after the water polo events ended, and got this awesome view.

Ticket prices differed based on seat and category. At the venue for swimming and diving, I was proud to find my country’s three national colors.
