Whats your guys opinion about amateur wrestling be kicked out of the Olympics? I think that it is total bs. For peat sake, there is synchronized swimming, badminton, ping-pong and ect in the Olympics. They took out one of the oldest and greatest sports in the Olympics.

first i've heard of this. i'm by no means a wrestling enthusiast but find this surprising, as you said it's one of the oldest sports still practise. what's the reasoning? a bit off topic, but here's a good read about sports once featured in the olympics. i really wish they'd bring back tug of war! www.ivillage.co.uk/10-weird-and-wonderful-former-olympic-sports/132197 |

I don't understand how wrestling gets removed, but the dancing with a ribbon on a stick is in.

It makes no sense at all. Wrestling is one of the original sports and there's no reason why they should take it out. Its absolutely ludicrous.

I was dumbfounded by this news; it's not a personal loss, because I'm not really a fan of amateur wrestling, but I can't even imagine the rationale behind this decision.

The Olympics are a joke anyways Some of the sports are, yeah. But in sports like wrestling where the winner is determined by the competitor and not some judge, I 'd have to say that calling them a joke is wrong. |

First the WWE bans the words wrestler and wrestling from ever being used and now this? Why does everyone have it out for wrestling?

I feel like wrestling exemplifies what the Olympics was originally all about.

Absolute idiocy by the IOC. For crying out loud, wrestling is one of the few spots that IS the Olympics, having been part of the original games. Now granted, I usually never care about the Olympics, but I hope there is enough of a movement of people, that causes them to over turn their, frankly, dumb decision.

I don't really understand how they do that... There are some other so called "sports" that should be kicked out of the Olympics, sports that doesnt even make sence. But of course they will kick a sport that is in the Olympics for so long as Wrestling.
