Wushu as an Olympic event
What event was Wushu rejected for?
Wushu (sport)
The IWUF placed a bid to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to have wushu included in future Olympic Games, but did not meet with success. However, the IOC allowed China to organize an international wushu event during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but this event is not one of the 28 official Olympic sports, nor is it a demonstration event. Instead, it was called the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Wushu Tournament. Wushu was one of 8 sports that was considered for inclusion in the 2020 Summer Olympics. On May 29, 2013, Wushu's bid was rejected.
