Wrestling missing from Olympics by 2020!

Wrestling dropped from 2020 Olympics and will vie with softball and squash for place when IOC reconvene - Telegraph

Squash, a joint baseball/softball bid and rock climbing are the leading contenders to take the spot vacated by wrestling, although the IOC will also consider karate, wakeboarding, wushu (a Chinese martial art) and roller sports

and in the comments :

What a shame I missed the 80s Olympic wrestling. Andre the Giant vs Hulk Hogan would have been terrific, and proabably would have been a gold for France.

Wrestling was one of the few sports i liked watching in the olympics, that and track and field. What a stupid move.

There are people today who think that admitting God’s absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power. Meanwhile I feel that whenever our perception of God’s greatness increases, with it we become greater, because we are the creation of a great God.
