Sad day for wrestling...


Thankfully you are wrong. There will be 2 votes in September. First vote is to uphold the recommendation to drop wrestling. Second vote is to add a sport. 3 sports will be voted on and top 3 decided on in May. Meeting in May happens to be in Russia. Wrestling has a good chance to be voted on 2x in September. IOC left the door open. IOC wants to be paid. It is a corrupt system.

It is crazy to think that the US leads the medal count and yet has 0 representation at a meeting to decide which sports are in or out of the Olympics.
