Save Olympic Wrestling
Earlier this year, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) sent
shockwaves through the worldwide wrestling community by announcing that
wrestling would be dropped from the Olympic Games. Despite being one of the world’s oldest sports and steeped in
rich Olympic tradition, the sport of wrestling is set to vanish from the
Olympics in the year 2020. As
expected, the international wrestling community was outraged, and a worldwide
coalition to save Olympic wrestling quickly sprung into action.
As the IOC is
now finding out, the wrestling community is strong and worldwide. While the fight to
have wrestling reinstated is not yet won, the future is starting to look
secure. In order to drum up
further support for the fight to keep wrestling in the Olympic Games, the USA
Wrestling Federation has put together a fascinating documentary about the sport
of wrestling. You can check out
the complete trailer below.
If you have ever trained in martial arts, of any kind, then
you will certainly be able to understand the wrestling community's stance. Wrestling is a sport that can transcend
political and international boundaries.
It is sport that has the power to change lives for the better. If you find yourself inspired by this
documentary please share it with your friends. Help spread awareness of wrestling's fight to stay in the
Olympic Games.
