Dropping wrestling is as bad as dropping athletics or fencing. They are all synonymous with the Olympics, both modern and ancient.

Don't personally watch wrestling. But a decision to dump it from the Olypics is just plain stupid. Why not dump the Marathon, discus and Javelin to...

Better keep the modern pentathlon in! How else's would rich kids be able to compete at the olympics!

 

[Lockyer4President!]

THe IOC is a corrupt organisation, just like FIFA.

These kind of decisions will only become more common.
