                          From Wikipedia:

                          The IWUF placed a bid to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to have wushu included in future Olympic Games, but so far did not meet with success. However, the IOC has allowed China to organize an international wushu event during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but this event is not one of the 28 official Olympic sports, nor is it a demonstration event. Instead, it will be called the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Wushu Tournament

                            by some means, Wushu = Kongfu, but not that exactly because some kind of konfu is not recongnised bu IWUF and some IWUF sports are not traditional chinese Wushu (Kongfu).
