[quote]In a shocking move, the International Olympic Committee voted to drop wrestling from its schedule for the 2020 Games. The unexpected decision was made via secret ballot during a Tuesday meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland where officials were discussing ways to "streamline" the Olympics.[/quote]

As someone who wrestled from middle school all the way through college I am completely shocked by this. Wrestling has been part of the Olympics since the ancient Greek games, it makes no sense that the IOC would remove one of the original sports to replace with ridiculous things like: karate, squash, roller sports, sport climbing,wake boarding and wushu.
It is also said that it is "extremely unlikely" that it will be brought back anytime soon.
