The stunning announcement by the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday that wrestling was being dropped from the 2020 Games quickly reverberated through the Bay Area grappling community.

"It's very surprising considering that wrestling was included in the very first Olympics," said Mark Schultz, an Olympic gold medalist from Palo Alto. "It's a sport that does so much for kids. It's such a character-building sport, the hardest sport."

On Tuesday, the IOC executive board, meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, decided to retain modern pentathlon -- the event considered most at risk -- and remove wrestling from its list of 25 "core sports." The IOC board acted after reviewing the 26 sports on the current Olympic program. Eliminating one sport allows the IOC to add a new sport later this year.

The only sports in which the Americans have won more medals than wrestling is swimming and track and field -- and those two have far more medal opportunities.

Americans have won a record 113 freestyle Olympic medals, by far the most of any nation. Though the U.S. had slipped in recent Olympic cycles, it bounced back with a pair of London Games gold medalists in Jordan Burroughs -- possibly the best wrestler in the world -- and Jake Varner.

Wrestling will join seven other sports in applying for inclusion in 2020. The others are a combined bid from baseball and softball, karate, squash, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding and wushu, a Chinese martial art. Those sports will vie for a single opening.

The IOC executive board will meet in May in St. Petersburg, Russia, to decide which sport or sports to propose for 2020 inclusion. The final vote will be made at the IOC general assembly in September in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is extremely unlikely that wrestling would be voted back in so soon after being removed by the executive board.

Stanford wrestling coach Jason Borrelli said "shocking" was the only word that came to mind after he heard about the IOC's decision.

"When I think of Olympics, I think of nothing less than wrestling," said the former Central Michigan star. "Wrestling is the purest of pure sports."

Because wrestling doesn't have a professional outlet other than mixed martial arts, the Olympics is the goal for kids who start the sport.

"You remove that from the youth level and you wonder what will happen down the road," Borrelli said. "Now it has been ripped from our kids, it's hard for me to sit back and accept."

Acceptance isn't just hard for Borrelli. On Tuesday, several online petitions to save Olympic wrestling popped up within hours of the IOC announcement.

"This is an odd decision because it's really so popular around the world," Schultz said. "When you look at the TV numbers, it's really incredibly popular."

Schultz and his brother, Dave, became the first siblings in U.S. history to win Olympic wrestling gold in the same Games, accomplishing the feat in 1984 in Los Angeles. Dave was shot to death by John E. du Pont in 1996.

I have to quote something that Seven Churches posted in the WWE thread. Iron Sheik is not happy about this and he shouldn't be. It is ridiculous.

Quote:

The Iron Sheik is not pleased about the International Olympic Committee’s decision to remove wrestling from the Olympics starting in 2020. The Sheik wrote the following to TMZ.

“After 1000 years they take away the best sport in the world? This is the first time the dumb motherf**kers have no balls for they make the walking an Olympic sport.”

“If I see anybody on the street that work from the IOC I swear to the Jesus I suplex them put them in camel clutch break their back make them humble.”

“The #TEAMSHEIKIE respect the Olympic now they can all go f**k themselves and make the Curling Olympic sport because they all the biggest piece of no good s**t and I never watch the Olympic again. Also buy my t shirt [on my website] or go f**k yourself.”

Iron Sheik posted the following messages on Twitter.

“I wake up i get phone call from my agents @pagemagen he tell me no more wrestling in the Olympics it break my heart forever”

“F*CK THE IOC #teamsheikie”

“IOC I f*ck you up you disrespect the legend and my only sport Wrestling. They have no d*ck they make new sport of go f*ck yourself”

Don't forget badminton, table tennis, sailing and golf. Seriously, who watches badminton and sailing? Table tennis was only entertaining in Forest Gump. I'd sooner watch paint dry than watch golf.

Next thing you know Freestyle Canoeing will be an Olympic sport (warning 5:25 of your life you will never get back

):

I watch Badminton because is one of the few sports where my country actually has a shoot at winning a medal in the Olympic Games.

The rest of sports you mention can go to hell.

OK, we've identified one of them. Now, who are the other three people?

It's cool if those are the sports where your country excels. I wouldn't put them above wrestling for popularity or watch-ability though.

Wrestling is officially reinstated to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, the International Olympic Committee officially announced today.

The announcement that wrestling was on the short list of sports to be eliminated caused a huge uproar among current and former collegiate wrestlers, including TNA star Kurt Angle, who loudly voiced his opinion against the removal of the games.

Wrestling has been one of the original Olympic events since the beginnings of the games.

Good old Japan, they love the wrestling. Had to be re-instated. I'm tempted to go to the 2020 Olympics if I'm not broke and still alive. Get to watch athletics, go on a train that goes 500mph and sight see, sorted.

They should do away with Rhythmic Gymnastic.

How is that even a sport?

From the Stone Cold Steve Austin podcast when Kurt Angle was a guest, he mentioned the fact the rules of wrestling never changed. Not adapting and being too hard for fans to follow. He made it pretty clear that the Olympics are all about ratings, and I guess wrestling wasn't cutting it. So it got dropped. As a blessing in disguise, it sure got the fight back to be reinstated.
