Who has got the goods? I can't find Sanda on the NBC website or on my go to mma video sites (mmascraps,etc.). So, I ask once again, who's got 'em?

There's no Olympic Sanda yet. Beijing was hosting a Wushu, Sanda, and Tai Chi tournament at the same time as the Olympics to promote more awareness of the sport.

if they wanted to promote san da why didnt they present it into the olympics instead of BMX!?

you would think they would try and push san da/wushu through as it is a chinese sport. any country could have presented BMX.

oh well.

Takes too much time. Rugby was petitioned at the end of the 2004 olympics and it won't be recognized until 2016
