The 2024 Taolu World Cup (Japanese: 第３回武術太極拳ワールドカップ大会) was the third edition of the Taolu World Cup. It was held at the Yokohama Buntai in Yokohama, Japan, from October 26 to 27, 2024. Qualification was done through the 2023 World Wushu Championships and the 2024 Wushu International Invitational Tournament.
Background
Selection process
At the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) congress at the 2019 World Wushu Championships, it was decided that the 3rd Taolu World Cup would be held in Tokyo, Japan from November 14 to 19, 2020. It would be organized by the Japan Wushu Taijiquan Federation. Previously, Japan had only hosted three prior major international wushu competitions with the most recent being the wushu event at the 2001 East Asian Games.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
Shortly after the completion, the COVID-19 pandemic spread internationally. On April 20, 2020, the IWUF announced that the 3rd Taolu World Cup would be postponed to 2022 after a request from the local organizing committee. This announcement was later followed by cancellations of the World Junior Wushu Championships, the Sanda World Cup, the World Taijiquan Championships, the Asian Wushu Championships, the World Kungfu Championships, and eventually the 2021 World Wushu Championships were moved to 2023. With this update, the 3rd Taolu World Cup was rescheduled to 2024, and the qualifications from the 2019 world championships were to be replaced by rankings at the 2023 world championships.
Qualification
The top eight athletes at the 2023 World Wushu Championships qualified for the 2024 Taolu World Cup. In addition, an additional spot in each event was given to the gold medalists at the 2024 Wushu International Invitational Tournament held in April in China. The invitational tournament was organized because several countries had visa issues while trying to participate in the previous world championships.
