Not a done deal, but this is even stupider than dropping baseball. No wrestling, but they have BMX events? :crazy:

I agree, although not a fan of wrestling, it seems to have a pedigree,pretty mcuh all schools/universities have a wrestling team . It's a sign of the times, look at the events in the 1980 Lake Placid Games compares to 2010 Vancouver... it's becomea giant X games

I have to admit that I don't usually watch the wrestling events either, but it seems crazy to remove such a huge sport. I don't mind them adding new sports here & there, if I don't like them I just don't watch. But removing established sports from something as big as the Olympics just baffles me.
