I dont care even if you are steven lopez or Kim Joon-tae old man!

And what does Wushu have to offer the Olympics other than colorful costumes and fancy dancy moves?

Judo vs Wrestling in MMA

At least there are sufficient differences between Judo and Wrestling to make each interesting in its own right, as well as commonality in that each require physical contact with an opponent. Boxing is the oldest unarmed martial arts whose techniques are common throughout history and cultures. Tae-kwon do introduces kicking into the mix of all of them and together with Judo, the two most popular Asian martial arts in the world.

what the indians can learn from their athletes is to develop their next stealth planes based on indian's Olympic model which can guarantee the stealthiness be as un-noticeable on the radar as their medals in the Olympic medal table!

Or the irso can learn how to effectively increase the propulsion power of their rockets by following the indian cheerleaders' way of blowing massive hot air on forums

And what does Wushu have to offer the Olympics other than colorful costumes and fancy dancy moves?

what is synchronised swimming? gymnastics rhythmic? And Wushu can have the least colourful customs or not even dancy! They are hard regiments of well structured system of self defence, body building and exercise!

Politics play a significant part in the decision of whether the games could get enlisted.

And China has none. No one else supports Wushu's selection.

Wushu was a demonstrating event in Beijing.

Wushu in 2008 wasn't even an official IOC sanctioned demonstrative event; the Chinese authorities organized an Wushu event by themselves that just happened to take place in Beijing alongside the Olympics and had nothing to do with the IOC.

This wasn't the case with Taekwondo in 1988, where it was an IOC sanctioned demonstrative event for future considerations.

The event was carried out through a variety of displaying Wushu stance and the Kungfu expertise in using different weapons.

And how did Chinese authorities demonstrate that Wushu was popular around the world with many non-Chinese champions?

what is synchronised swimming? gymnastics rhythmic?

Well, those events got sexy athletes in skimpy outfits. Great for TV ratings.

And Wushu can have the least colourful customs or not even dancy! They are hard regiments of well structured system of self defence, body building and exercise!

And unpopular outside of Chinese community.

Fine...We can put Whose-Shoes in with Gymnastics.

Fine...We can put Whose-Shoes in with Gymnastics.

Current Wushu format is indeed basically "Chinese gymnastics", which is not necessarily a bad thing and this is how Wushu would try to differentiate itself from Taekwondo and karate anyway. The key issue is that there are no competitive non-Chinese champions.

There is also a recently developed kumite called Wushu Santa, but this is not always included in all Wushu competitions and the event looks more like Muai Thai to untrained eyes. I doubt China would include Wushu Santa in its Olympic bidding.

This is why Judo and Taekwondo are olympic sports and Wushu is not.

There is a skill level parity of Judo and Taekwondo athletes around the world, where Japanese are not necessarily the best Judo competitors(In fact Japan had no gold in men's division and just one gold in women's division) and Koreans are not necessarily the best Taekwondo competitors. China doesn't even bother to create a skills parity in Wushu, which ensures that Wushu remains a China-only sport with no chance of making it into the Olympics.

Sorry mate we are not as useless as korea japn or india that need to introduce their own sports to win medals in olympics, we like to beat you guys in your own games

where is the voting that there is "none" - is it another blow of your indian hot air??

That was one step towards Olympic approval!

That's not the point of having Taekwondo in the Olympics. It is really about having a "Korean sport" in the Olympics. They couldn't care less about winning medals, at least not at this time.

Likewise China's trying to put Wushu in the Olympics for exactly the same reason, putting a Chinese touch to the Olympics.

Dont waste your time explainning to that idiot mate, if anything wushu is more skillful than taekwondo , in wushu not only you have to master hand to hand combat but also have to be good at variety of weapons as well, a skill that is too compliceted to include in the olympics.

When anyone in the world thinks of Martial arts, they think of Kung Fu. They think of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

Not Judo, where you're not even allowed to punch or kick. Only grapple.

Nobody says, "Let's go watch a Judo movie!"

Not one MMA-type champion is a Kung fu practitioner.
