The wushu (taolu) competition at the 2022 World Games took place in July 2022,[1][2] in Birmingham, Alabama, at the Bill Battle Coliseum. Originally scheduled to take place in July 2021, the Games were rescheduled for July 2022 as a result of the 2020 Summer Olympics postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Wushu featured as a sport selected by the host organizing committee, alongside duathlon, flag football, men's lacrosse, and wheelchair rugby. Wushu had been an invitational sport at the World Games in 2009 and 2013. In May 2021, the International Wushu Federation was admitted into the International World Games Association, and wushu will again be an official event in the 2025 World Games.[4] José Perurena, IWGA President, stated, "In Birmingham [2022], for the first time, invitational sports were no longer presented separately but were also part of the official programme."[5]

## Qualification

[edit]

Main article: 2019 World Wushu Championships

Qualification was done according to the results of the 2019 World Wushu Championships in Shanghai.[6] This is a taolu exclusive competition and so no sanda events took place compared to previous renditions.[1] There were five events for male and female athletes which included: changquan, daoshu/gunshu combined, jianshu/qiangshu combined, nanquan/nangun combined (for men), nanquan/nandao combined (for women), and taijiquan/taijijian combined.[1] The qualification list was later revised in February 2022 due to Macau's IOC ineligibility to compete and the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and thus eight new spots were opened.
