Wrestling back in the Olympics

Good to see that the IOC pulled their heads out of their asses and came to their senses. Wrestling is a sport that should never have even been considered for the axe.

I am not really a wrestling fan, but I totally agree with that. It was one of the original sports in the olympics.
Olympics without wrestling is like football without tackling.

I'm glad it wasn't cut off, but it should never have been put in that position in the first place. Oddly enough, it actually united the US and Iran for a common cause, since wrestling is actually a pretty major sport in Iran as well as a lot of Eastern European countries.
