Korean youths performs Taekwondo for Peace in the presence Pope

Youths from North and South Korea treated Pope Francis on Wednesday to a display of their taekwondo prowess in a demonstration for peace on their divided peninsula. The 10 martial arts athletes, half in white and half in black uniforms, staged a dramatic high kick in which one of them shattered a wood panel. They then unfurled a banner reading “Peace is more precious than victory”. A little Korean girl released a dove of peace to cap the performance during the pope’s weekly general audience in Saint Peter’s Square.
