We wanted to see what everybody else is talking about, the amount of, the way things are in North Korea, and we expect to take some medals home, we''re not quite sure how many medals. We expect very stiff competition, being in the world championships.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe opening ceremony featured traditional Korean dancing, and displays of the Taekwondo skills of the North Korean national team.\u003cbr/\u003eOne sequence in the demonstrations at the opening event got an enthusiastic response from the audience - a choreographed fight with a woman and her boyfriend fending off a group of attackers.\u003cbr/\u003eUsing her Taekwondo skills, the woman overwhelms the attackers again and again, defending both herself and her boyfriend. He falls repeatedly to the attackers. It''s the woman - and taekwondo - who wins the fight.\u003cbr/\u003eNorth Korean organisers hope that the championship will go down well with foreign Taekwondo enthusiasts, as it''s a chance for them to experience the martial art on its home ground.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Because this championship is being held in the homeland of Taekwondo, I think it will be more successful, and it will draw the attention of Taekwondo players and sports people around the world,\" says Kim Chol Jin, a member of the championships organising committee.\u003cbr/\u003eThe opening ceremony ends with a dramatic display of the force that Taekwondo can harness - a North Korean expert uses his bare hands to smash a series of concrete slabs and bricks.\u003cbr/\u003eA total of 36 gold medals will be awarded in different categories, with the closing ceremony on September 12th.\u003cbr/\u003eUnusually for socialist North Korea, the championship is sponsored by a mobile phone company, Koryolink, a joint venture between Egyptian telecoms company Orascom, and the North Korean Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.\u003cbr/\u003e17th World Taekwondo Championship was held in Pyongyang, North Korea from September 6 to 12th September, 2011.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
