Editorial: Wrestling for Gold talks about how how when the 2020 Summer Olympics occur in Tokyo, wrestling will be included as one of the competitive sports. The International Olympic Committee decided that wrestling would be an Olympic sport after the 2016 Rio de Janeiro, after it was chosen to be put back into the Olympics instead of squash or baseball. Though several people may think that wrestling lacks broad appeal, some other sports that lack broad appeal include badminton and the pentathlon. Wrestling also has original roots in the Olympics, because it was one of the sports in the original Ancient Greek Olympic Games. To make wrestling create a broader appeal throughout audiences, the International Olympic Committee lowered two weight classes for men and raised it by 2 for women. Hopefully this will attract a broader range of people who take an interest in the sport.
