Possible Sports for 2020 Olympics : Wushu

26 sports have applied for inclusion in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. The IOC won’t make a decision until next summer. In the meantime I thought we’d explore some of these sports and weigh the pros, cons and feasibility of having them added to the schedule.

Today, we turn our attention to Wushu…

PROS: At first, Wushu looks like the most awesome sport ever! There’s martial arts, a bow staff and Crouching Tiger-levels of ass-kicking.

There’s more fighting in one second of Wushu than there was in 12 rounds of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

CONS: It’s fake. After a couple of seconds it becomes obvious that the who thing is choreographed. The one girl isn’t getting bow staffed to death by her opponent. They’re actually on the same team.

ANALYSIS: If they put this B.S. in they may as well include rasslin’. Not wrestling. Rasslin’…complete with metal folding chairs and referees that don’t turn around in time to see the heel rub broken glass in the baby-face’s eyes.
Wushu, my ass.
