Although it's probably best for the sport to be included in 2020, it's unfortunate that we have to drop a weight. I know people disagree, but I just don't think this is "equality." Are male/female wrestling participation numbers really representative of the 2:1 medal ratio now in place?
Does anyone have an idea as to the weights? I imagine there will be one less lighter weight. I can see them doing something like 57, 64, 74, 84, 96, 120. Hopefully I'm wrong, as the lighter guys are more fun to watch than the real big boys ;D
They got rid of the real big boys, too......
