Wrestling may be gone from Olympics in 2020
International Olympic Committee leaders dropped wrestling from
the Olympic program on Tuesday in a surprise decision that removes one
of the oldest Olympic sports from the 2020 Games.
The IOC
executive board decided to retain modern pentathlon - the event
considered most at risk - and remove wrestling instead from its list of
25 "core sports."
The IOC board acted after reviewing the 26 sports on the current
Olympic program. Eliminating one sport allows the IOC to add a sport to
the program later this year.
A new sport? I hope it's something less gay, like hula hooping.
