This is great news but wrestling should never had to have been reinstated in the first place.

Re: Wrestling back in the Olympics!
Agreed. It is an ancient sport and many cultures have some variation of it. Unimaginable that wrestling could be dropped.CitadelGrad wrote:This is great news but wrestling should never had to have been reinstated in the first place.

Re: Wrestling back in the Olympics!
I think there is a chance that Greco-Roman may eventually be dropped. Right now only men compete at Greco, whereas both men and women compete at freestyle. The number of wrestlers competing in freestyle are much higher than in Greco, at least they are here in PA.Ibanez wrote:SH will only be happy if this is Greco-Roman.
