中國(guó)正在考慮向國(guó)際奧委會(huì)提出正式申請(qǐng)，將中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)娛樂(lè)項(xiàng)目麻將列為一項(xiàng)奧運(yùn)會(huì)比賽項(xiàng)目。國(guó)家體育總局棋牌運(yùn)動(dòng)管理中心副主任陳澤蘭表示：“在北京舉辦2022年冬奧會(huì)時(shí)，我們希望智力運(yùn)動(dòng)也能成為奧運(yùn)項(xiàng)目?！?最近麻將正式獲得了國(guó)際智盟認(rèn)可，成為繼橋牌、國(guó)際象棋、圍棋、象棋和國(guó)際跳棋之后的第六項(xiàng)智力運(yùn)動(dòng)。陳澤蘭表示：“如果國(guó)際智盟可以和國(guó)際奧委會(huì)達(dá)成協(xié)議，我們也許就能把麻將作為一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)項(xiàng)目了。”

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.”
