[4] A year later in 1983, Beijing won the bid to host the 1990 Asian Games, the first international multi-sport event to occur in China, and wushu was added as a new sport.
[6] At this competition, a preparatory committee was formed for the foundation of the International Wushu Federation (then abbreviated to the IWF) which was led by the CWA and joined by various individuals and organizations throughout the world.
[9] Zhao Changjun and Zhang Yuping from China captured the male and female all-around titles respectively.
[13] Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Kingdom grabbed a gold medal each while China won the rest.
[14] After the taolu competition, the festival transitioned into the first International Invitational Sanshou Championships which relocated to Shenzhen.
[17] Due to delays, this was unable to be completed, and thus the CWA thus gave the Wushu Federation of Malaysia on short notice the authority to host an international competition in the middle of 1990.
