Why on earth would dropping wrestling ever be considered. It is one of the oldest sports known to man.
I personally will boycott the olympics if this happens. Wrestling is one of the most physically challenging sports. What is the problem are we getting too soft? I agree with Mr. Goss. Who is steering this ship?

I'd like to see which Olympian can throw Rogge the farthest distance.
I'm not a huge wrestling fan, but I do tend to watch it at the Olympics. Just like Gymnastics, High Diving, Sprinting, etc. It does seem like some sort of weird politics are at play. I had to laugh out loud when I read what a Pentathlon is. Pistol shooting, swimming, fencing, horse jumping, and a 3km run. Talk about riveting TV.
I'm hopeful that the wrestling camp can get something going and get back in the Olympics quickly.

It's just in: IOC votes to remove the 100m dash in favor of competitive marbles.

I agree with Al Goss, that it is inconceivable to remove this sport from the Summer Olympics. It has been a part of the Games since the beginning and is an amazing test of character, endurance, and strength. I am not a wrestler in any way, but love to watch it. Keep it in.

Wrestling is synonymous with the (Summer) Olympics. How is it conceivable the IOC would consider removing one of the foundational events of the Olympics? Who is steering this ship? There has be an an ulterior motive here.
