A very sad decision indeed
by Mohit Patwa on Feb 13, 2013 09:28 PM

Wrestling is the core of Olympics. It involves athleticism and intellect of an athlete. And men running the show should understand that Olympics is not just about America or Western Europe. If they want the whole world to participate and excel they should encourage the sports in which they are doing well. This way the IOC is loosing a huge market like India and many other Asian countries. Sad decision indeed.

The IOC should go back to Athens to know the basics why olympic was started and which game deserves to be a called an olympic sports.Olympic should not drift away from the main purpose of its inception..battle preparedness.Silly games like golf does not deserve to be an olympic sports...

Countries having interest in Wrestling must boycott 2020 olympics
by Indian on Feb 13, 2013 12:51 PM

All the countries that have an interest in Wrestling must boycott Olympics and thereby really affecting its popularity and finances. How can the IOC take such a drastic decision with a sport that is very core of atleticism and the oldest form of sport. It is a very intensely fought sport in many of the Asian and European nations. What is the idea behind such a ban??
