Wrestling removed from Olympics???
Are you serious???
While we were all resting in our beds comfortably last night the IOC went ahead and decided to go ahead and drop wrestling from the 2020 Olympics. I will wait a moment and let that one sink in.
Yes the International Olympic Committee has announced that they will be dropping wrestling from the 2020 Games in order to make room for a new sport. What are they going to add, men's underwater curling??
Wrestling is one of the oldest sports in the world and was part of the first ever Olympics in 1896 and now it will be gone from the Games unless they can apply for inclusion and get voted back in. There is one single spot left with several sports trying to get it.
