Demo Team Amaze at ANOC Awards 2022

SEOUL, Korea (Oct. 19, 2022)

The World Taekwondo Demonstration Team took away breaths at the Association of National Olympic Committee 2022 Awards Ceremony, which honoured the best athletes from the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022.

The five-minute performance took place at the ceremony’s venue, the COEX Convention Center in Seoul, in the presence of representatives from nearly 190 National Olympic Committees. The team showed off a blend of acrobatic board breaking and intricately coordinated Poomsae movements, expressing Taekwondo’s process of self-discipline, hard training, and ultimate achievement.

Given that many attendees had never seen the team before, the applause was thunderous.

“You could see from the reaction of the audience that the NOCs were very impressed,” said ANOC Secretary General Gunilla Lindberg said. “It was the perfect end to a wonderful evening.”

“As ever, our Demonstration Team did not disappoint,” said WT President Chungwon Choue. “The reaction was extremely positive.”
