Wrestling will no longer be an event in the Olympics after the 2016 Rio Olympics.  In part because golf and rugby are coming to the Olympics, something had to go. This time it was wrestling, apparently edged out by the modern pentathlon for survival.  Wrestling is one of the oldest Olympic sport dating back to 1896.  Even though many will want to bring wrestling back, ” the odds are long for wrestling to return” (Dan Wetzel).  I disagree with this opinion, because wrestling is one of the Olympics oldest sport, so it has so much prestige, and that is why I think wrestling will return to the Olympics.
