    Wrestling, which has been in the Olympics for 2721 years has been dropped as of the 2020 games according to the International Olympic Committee. Are these people on some type of illegal drugs or playing politics with some country that can't produce a wrestling team?

    It's being replaced with golf. It's completely rediculous.

    Yawn.

    I say we bring back the Gladiator Games with that logic!

    I don't really watch the Olympics anyways.

    Well I certainly don't watch synchronized swimming or table tennis or 80 pound skinny 15 year olds twirling a streamer. They're just trying to screw it up. It's got to be a French thingy. LOL I'll watch the PGA... but not really an Olympic Golf thing. That's not the Olympics. I'm getting too old.

    I think they've shot themselves in the foot. This and with all their scandals who even cares about the Olympics anymore. Getting so commercialized now and corrupted.

    I dont like much in the summer games anyway. I think it was a dumb move to throw this out, but really I dont care. Winter games is where its at. Id much rather watch some people spin around 25' in the air on a 5x1 then watch some sweaty guys roll around on the ground together or run in circles next to each other.

    I only watch the Olympics whenever boxing and wrestling is on. All the other "sports" dont interest me. Im upset to say the least...
