Wrestling will now join seven other sports in applying for inclusion in 2020. The others are a combined bid from baseball and softball, karate, squash, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding and wushu. They will be vying for a single opening in 2020.


which one doesn't belong?

I'm sorry but wakeboarding should NOT be in the Olympics.

Perhaps they should propose MMA and make things more XTREME!

Yeah, can't wait until they announce MMA as the newest event. Confused

Wakeboarding is not an Olympic sport... but with the IOC being as ridiculous as FIFA these days I wouldn't put anything past them.

At least they got something right by adding rugby 7s.

Wakeboarding was dropped from the x-games. Surprised it's even being mentioned.

IOC just kicked Wrestling out of the Olympics, beginning 2020. Not to worry: Badminton PingPong & SynchSwimming are still in

The hell?

Can't believe wrestling would be dropped. That's the first thing I think of when I think of Olympic history.


Wakeboarding definitely does not belong.
