The extra end of the wheelchair curling final is underway at the Gangneung Curling Centre, where China is competing against Norway in its bid to clinch its first-ever gold medal at the Paralympic Winter Games.
Valeriia Bokhan-Cherepanova is standing with some photographers in the photo area, while Hwang Dong-pil and Wang Jie are sitting in the spectators stand with the Chinese delegation cheering on Team China.
They were just three of the 5,180 volunteers involved in the 2018 Pyeongchang Paralympic Winter Games, who helped to organize the national teams, venues, the media, transportation - and a host of other tasks.
