The 2022 BRICS Games features medal events — breakdancing, chess and Wushu (Chinese martial arts), while yoga, dragon and lion dance, dragon boat racing, Brazil jiu-jitsu, and sambo as demonstration events.

The chess tournament will be played online, with the first round starting on Thursday evening, and will be broadcast on the tournament’s official website.

Breakdancing and Wushu will be scored by judges through videos uploaded by the competitors.
