As far as I can, I've tried to translate it for you. Enjoy.
Reporter: today there are many wushu performances, where would you look as a juror?
"that is difficult, traditional wushu consists of various styles. Modern wushu has fixed forms. As a juror I would look at the standings, the sequence of movements and the appearance of the eyes. You can not judge the style itself"
