Less than an hour ago, at the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires, Argentina, wrestling was returned to its rightful place as an Olympic sport.
The sport of wrestling received 49 votes, with in second place Baseball/Softball with 24 votes, and Squash with 22 votes. 48 was the majority of votes needed for Wrestling to re-enter the program.
Discuss your reaction to this news, the magnificent sport of wrestling, and the lunacy of the IOC for ever considering dropping wrestling from the program.
