Wrestling News
At 2020 Olympics,

IOC leaders have dropped wrestling from the 2020 Games.

Really surprised with this decision by IOC ... They r removing one of the oldest sport from list of core sports which was the part of the inaugural modern Olympics in Athens in 1896 ... Shocking!

Now wrestling will fight with seven other sports, baseball and softball, karate, squash, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding and wushu, in applying for inclusion in 2020. Only one sport from these 8 sports will be selected ... The IOC executive board will meet in May in Russia, to decide which sport or sports to propose for 2020 inclusion ... After that the final vote will be made at the IOC general assembly in September in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
