Proper handshake protocol for medal ceremonies

Post by Yuan Chaui »

Not many players follow this.
If you are the silver medalist you should first walk up to the bronze medalist & shake her or his hand (ok not shakehand, fist bump) before you step up to the medal podium
If you are the the medalist you should first walk up to both the bronze & silver medalist & shake their hand (ok not shakehand, fist bump) before you step up to the medal podium
