麻將能否加入世界智力精英運動會？世界體育總會主席海因·維爾布魯根12日在北京表示，智力運動會的原則是開放包容，歡迎不同的運動參與，但同時希望能有相關國際組織參與協助制定規則。
Beijing (CNS) -- When asked Wednesday if Mahjong might ever be included in the World Mind Games, SportAccord president Hein Verbruggen said he hopes that international organizations will make proposals.
In principle, the World Mind Games are open and inclusive, and SportAccord is glad there are more games to be considered, said Verbruggen in Beijing. But as an international game, it needs discussion and proposals by relative organizations, he added.
Mahjong, which originated in China, has gained international popularity in recent years.
The SportAccord World Mind Games 2012 kicked off in Beijing on Wednesday. The event has attracted 152 competitors from 39 countries and regions.
The players will compete in five categories including Bridge, Chess, Go, Draughts and Xiang Qi (Chinese chess).
