Wrestling faces up to Olympic snub
|
|
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) cut wrestling from the program for the 2020 Olympics on Feb. 12. The board acted after reviewing the 26 sports on the current Olympic program. Eliminating one sport allows the IOC to add a new sport to the program later this year. It is extremely unlikely that wrestling would be voted back in so soon after being removed by the executive board. The decision is a bitter shock for Japan. "I cannot believe it," said three-time Olympic gold medalist Saori Yoshida. "This is nothing but shocking and frustrating." (AP, Kyodo News)
