China is considering the idea of putting forward a formal application to the International Olympic Committee to consider the traditional Chinese game of Mahjong as an Olympic event.”With Beijing to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, we hope that ‘mind sports’ could become Olympic events at this time,” said Chen Zelan, a deputy director of the General Administration of Sport.Mahjong recently became the sixth officially-recognized ‘mind sport’ by the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA), following bridge, chess, Go, Chinese chess and international checkers. If the IMSA can reach an agreement with the IOC, then we might consider putting Mahjong forward as a test event.”
