    Default Sixth sign of the Apocolypse, wrestling gone from the Olympics.

    At least, that's the recommendation.

    At least we still have rhythmic gymnastics.

    Sad sign. My sons only 11 but has wrestled since he was 7 and that's all he's ever talked about was going to the Olympics to wrestle. Le Sigh.....

    I wrestled in middle school and highschool and I just don't understand this. One of the original sports and it is the one they choose to ax? Insane.

    Stupid... I just read they got rid of it to make room for golf (?) and rugby. WTF!? So they toss out one of the oldest Olympic sports instead of say synchronized swimming? Now I really don't want to live on this planet anymore.

    Marketing and money... The world revolves around the money. No money in wrestling, TONS in golf. Gotta grease those palms of the OoC ya know.

    Sad world, I'm ready to leave it. Take me Lord.
