Olympic Games: Wrestling to be dropped from 2020 by IOC

Wrestling has been dropped from the Olympic Games from 2020 by the International Olympic Committee ( IOC) to make way for a new sport. But the event could enjoy a reprieve as it now joins a shortlist of sports hoping to be included in 2020. The list includes baseball, softball, squash, karate, sport climbing, wakeboarding, wushu and roller sports. A decision on which sport will be added in 2020 will be made when the IOC meet in Buenos Aires in September. The IOC will also decide in September whether Istanbul, Madrid or Tokyo will host the 2020 Games.
