Wushu, gaining popularity?

[Sensei Rick]

I was just wondering if you think wushu will gain in popularity after being in the 2008 olympics. Do you think It will be shown in the middle of the night or will it be seen during prime time like gymnastics. Do you know anything about the time slots for sure? Does anyone know what forms will be compulsury? Will it be divided by weapons.

Hopefully, definately, undoubtedly wont gain any popularity.

And surely that is a good thing

P.S. I mean the Newly developed Wushu by PRC

I don't see it getting a primetime spot in the lineup. Gymnastics, swimming and track and field are the bread and butter of the broadcast, not a "fringe" newcomer event. This holds true for many other sports as well (archery, equestrian, etc). I would be interested in seeing the coverage to check it out.

As far as the popularity, I would not know.
