Why was wrestling kicked out of the Olympic Games?
"This decision is not based on what's wrong with wrestling, but on what's good about the other 25 events. This is a very comprehensive process. " International Olympic Committee spokesman Adams said. Since the first Athens Olympic Games in 1896, wrestling, track and field, swimming and other eight events have become one of the pioneers of modern Olympic Games. Now the withdrawal of this project can't help but make people feel embarrassed. Although Adams has repeatedly stressed that the final decision will be made at the plenary session in September this year, analysts pointed out that it is basically impossible for the plenary session to veto the decision of the Executive Committee, because 25 projects will be voted as a whole and individual projects will not be discussed. In the history of China Olympic Games, wrestling is not the key event to win gold. Wang Xu and Wang Jiao won a gold medal for women and a silver medal for men in Athens.
