Olympic Wrestling is Back!

     After seven months of being dropped out of the Olympic games, wrestling is back in the 2020-2024 Olympic games! The final decision was made on Sunday, September 8th. The vote was between squash (a form of racketball), a softball-baseball combination, and wrestling. Each sport was given the opportunity to make their case as to why their sport should be in the Olympics. Wrestling received 49 votes; squash received 22 votes, while baseball-softball received 24 votes. It was a great day for all wrestlers and wrestling fans. It is great to see an original Olympic sport back in the games!
