March 4, 2013 By Brett Kraiger

This is the life story of 55 year old grand mother of two Marie Louise Zeller. She’s considered a Taekwondo expert after training for nine years. And she set her eyes on being the oldest person to achieve a gold medal in Taekwondo in the Olympics.

As a way to cope with the stress, Marie Louise Zeller devoted time to Taekwondo. And this has definitely made wonders in her life.
