Wushu will be featured as an invitational sport alongside duathlon, flag football, lacrosse, and wheelchair rugby. Wushu was also an invitational sport at the World Games in 2009 and 2013.

Qualification

Qualification will be based on ranking in the top eight of any event at the 2021 World Wushu Championships which are to be held in Dallas, Texas, United States. This is a taolu exclusive competition and so no sanda events will take place compared to previous renditions.[1] The International Wushu Federation (IWUF) will be managing this competition.
