The fifth World Traditional Wushu Championships kicked off on Nov 7 in Huangshan, Anhui province. About 2,865 Wushu fans in 245 teams from 50 countries and regions will compete in the three-day competition running from Nov 8 - 10.

Among the attendants, there are 1,232 international athletes from 85 foreign teams and 1,633 from 160 Chinese teams. The competition, which is well-known as the Wushu Olympic Games, consists of individual, dual and group events. The individual events include traditional Quanshu and traditional apparatus activities. "Wushu, regardless of nations and races, belong to the whole of mankind.

We will surely fulfill the glorious mission of writing a new chapter in promoting the international wushu movement, world cultural exchanges, friendship and solidarity among people all over the world," said Yu Zaiqing, president of the International Wushu Federation. "Let's join hands and work together to make this event a gala of friendship, harmony and success," Yu said.
