- Wushu Tournament Beijing 2008
Wushu Tournament Beijing 2008 is a wushu competition which was held from August 21 to 24,
2008 at theOlympic Sports Center Gymnasium inBeijing , China.The
International Wushu Federation has been promoting wushu as a potential Olympic sport for some time. The award of the2008 Summer Olympics to Beijing presented an opportunity to showcase wushu in an Olympic competition environment. Although, according to the contract signed between the IOC and the host city, no international or national sports competition is allowed to be held in the Olympic host city during the Games and one week before or after, the IOC specifically permitted the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) to organise the Wushu tournament in parallel to the Olympic Games, due to wushu's place in traditional Chinese culture.Other than substituting the Olympics symbol with International Wushu Federation's symbol, all other elements (e.g. medal design, award presentation & ceremony, volunteers of the tournament, etc.) are identical to the Olympics. Athletes are allowed to stay in athletes village. The official BOCOG website also has the schedule&results, profile of the athletes(though on a different page) [ [http://en.beijing2008.cn/live/pressconference/mpc/n214565643.shtml 9th IOC/BOCOG Press Conference Aug.20,2008] ] [ [http://2008.people.com.cn/GB/116565/7710117.html Picutre:Wushu Tournament Beijing2008(Simplified Chinese)] ]
