This petition is against the recent vote by the IOC to remove Wrestling as an Olympic sport in the 2020 Olympics. Wrestling is one of the core sports of the Olympics dating back to ancient times and with one quick vote a committee decides to remove what has been historically one of the most diverse (culturally) sports. This is an outrage that needs to be dealt with!

Wrestling is the oldest sport in the olympics. u cant just take it away because some suits in a boardroom decided so. leave it alone!
