тАЬSo you could say you chose us over the Olympics,тАЭ judge Simon Cowell joked, with the team spokesperson agreeing.
The team, consisting of more than 20 members, kicked off its stunning performance with a sequence that was like watching a Bruce Lee martial arts movie come to life, as one member fended off numerous attackers, breaking multiple wooden boards in high-flying kicks.
