Byron,

I hope the IOC will rethink its decision to drop wrestling from the list of participating sports. I know that the IOC wants to give more types of sports a chance at the Olympics. Can you imagine the outcry if the IOC decided to drop the marathon or one of the popular sports? It wouldn't be pretty. Wrestling has been part of the Olympics since the start. I know wrestling isn't too popular right now and that may be a reason why it may be dropped. I don't believe the Olympics will be the same if the IOC goes through with this plan.
