The International Olympic Committee’s executive board voted to drop wrestling from the program for the 2020 Summer Games as the body tries to keep the event fresh, a spokesman said.
The recommendation by the 15-member board will be reviewed and then a final vote will be held in September. Wrestling will get a chance to rally support and will be among eight sports vying for inclusion at the 2020 Games, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said at a press conference in Lausanne, Switzerland.
