Clear mandate with over 50% of the vote. This is only the first battle. Now we need to get back as a core Olympic sport. Thank IOC. USA Wrestling keep fighting to add weights to the Olympics and get back as a core sport.

i think the rules changes help quite a bit, as did the international campaign to keep wrestling.

AWESOME!

Crappy part is 1 freestyle and 1 greco weight gwt dropped. Not sure what weights but hopefully not Burroughs or Metcalfs!

The women added 2 weights. Everybody is at 6 weights now. No offense to the ladies but to me wrestling is a man's sport. This equality stuff is crap. They should be adding weights to men's freestyle imo. But hey I'm happy to be back in the Olympics regardless.
