Wrestling dropped from the Olympic program?
Wrestling? The IOC looked at all 26 sports on the Olympic program, decided on one to eliminate, and picked wrestling? While keeping modern pentathlon and taekwondo? To say I’m shocked and disappointed would be an understatement. I was so confident in wrestling’s place on the Olympic program that I figured it wouldn’t even enter into the discussion. The decision to drop it is simply mind-boggling. And it makes you wonder what the IOC’s real motivation was.
