"This is a process of renewing and renovating the program for the Olympics," IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. "In the view of the executive board, this was the best program for the Olympic Games in 2020. It's not a case of what's wrong with wrestling, it is what's right with the 25 core sports."


Table Tennis is a core sport and Wrestling is not? :fp: Oh well thankfully we have Trampolining as part of the Gymnastics core.
