Wushu did appear as special exhibition events at both the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2017 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games which greatly improved the image and international recognition of the sport.

Zhang explained that after entering the Olympic Games, Wushu will become the work of the Olympic Committees of various countries and regions.

"This will put forward higher technical requirements for the International Wushu Federation," Zhang said.

"Next, we should further reform the competition rules and performance level of Wushu according to Olympic standards. So we will soon launch international classification criteria of Wushu for young people. Based on these elements, we will design more routines that young people will like," Zhang concluded.
