China Unicycle Association

Beijing, China

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

China Unicycle Association (CUA)

> The China Unicycle Association (CUA) is the official government organization
> coordinating and organizing unicycling activities in China. In Chinese, it is
> actually referred to as the "Unicycle Committee" under the Chinese Cycling
> Association, which is part of the Ministry of Physical Education (?). But upon
> my advice the name has been changed since "committee" has the wrong
> implication in English.
> 
> I must stress very strongly that the CUA we are talking about is an official
> government organization that has absolutely nothing to do with the former CUA,
> of exactly the same name, run by Zhao Yanyang at the time the Great Wall
> Unicycling Marathon was held in 1993.
> 
> The CUA is heavily involved in promoting unicycling in Chinese schools, and
> was responsible for organizing the China Team to Unicon IX in Germany. They
> already held five national Chinese meets.
> 
> It is important to point out that the Chinese competiton rules are very
> similar to the IUF rules. They have translated the IUF rule book into Chinese
> and have studied it closely. CUA Vice Chairman Zhang Shuxiao is now aspiring
> to become an IUF director, which will give him authority to ensure that
> Chinese rules follow IUF rules to the letter. This will be the first time, I
> believe, that a national organization adopts IUF rules officially.
