The applause the audiences gave them when they tried their utmost for the best possible results was recognition that they gave it their all for their nation.
Just last month, a Swedish org called Ninjas in Pyjamas and a Chinese org named Victory 5 merged together to IPO on the NASDAQ to confetti and applause.
When this was over, the chairman gave a sentiment, after which, the professional gentleman on the chairman's right and left volunteered a duet, and sang it, with great applause.
And the whole room applauded, and I was like, oh wow, these media people are complete idiots, and they don't even pay attention to what's going on in this country, but anyway.
