Olympics 2020: Wrestling reinstated to Games

[samk786]

I guess this is very good news, we were all hoping for....
Good news for Iran, Iranian Wrestlers, and all Iran Fans....
Wrestling has been reinstated as an Olympic sport for the 2020 and 2024 Games after being voted in ahead of baseball/softball and squash.

Good. It was a joke that it was removed in the first place.

Very good news indeed. If wrestling would have been voted out of the Olympics, half of Iran's medals would have been gone..

[K. Nader]

Good news. Also for those that didn't know, Tokyo was announced as the host yesterday.

[Sharkie]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Although I'm please with the result, I'm disgusted at the fact that such a beautiful and historical sport was almost thrown out of the Olympics.

now FILA needs to do a better PR and reform the rules to make the sport more of a 21th century sport!! i heard they have made some rule changes already but i think they should do more. it seems that the sport is still stuck in 1900's.
