Observations of the victory ceremony noted a distinct lack of verbal gratitude toward coaches or agents, which is attributed to Japanese cultural norms regarding duty and the potential insult of being thanked for doing one's job. This behavior contrasts with Western "obligatory gratitude" seen in events like the Academy Awards.
