Alibaba founder Jack Ma attends the opening of the first round of a Gong Shou Dao competition held in Beijing on November 15, 2017. Based on the traditional Chinese martial art Tai Chi, Gong Shou Dao is a new competitive sport, requiring intelligence, strength, and skill. It carries forward the culture of Chinese martial art while demonstrating the unique charm of Tai Chi, with the aim of being included as an Olympic event. The Gong Shou Dao competition, founded by Jack Ma and Jet Li, took place on a circular platform three meters in diameter. It was live streamed via Youku.com and will be aired later on China Central Television's sports channel. [Photo: VCG]
