They are eliminating the original Olympic sports--

wrestling, boxing, weightlifting.

They are cutting down on the number of weight classes in weightlifting and boxing--eliminating them gradually.

But they have women's water dancing, women's volleyball, etc.

The point is the total destruction of the most basic traditions that are the basis of civilization.

You'd think wrestling would be an untouchable Olympic sport, just shows the IOC really isn't about sport at all.

IOC, continuing to destroy what little credibility it had left.

Ditch one of the founding sports, but keep crap like Rhythmic Gymnastics, Synchronized Swimming, Trampoline?
