Keep wrestling in the Olympics
Keep wrestling in the Olympics
The Issue
As some you guys may know the International Olympic Committee has decided to drop wrestling as one of its main Olympic sports in the 2020 Olympic games. The committee is making is making a monsterous mistake. Wrestling should be kept in the Olympics because wrestling is an important and vital sport, The sport of wrestling also helps young people develop important qualities such as self esteem, sportsmanship, work ethic and leadership skills. Wrestling is the world’s oldest sport and teaches control, not violence. Wrestling develops agility, balance, reflexes and strength in every major muscle group and can dramatically improve one's ability to perform in other sports. If wrestling is not kept as an Olympic spot than why have an Olympics at all?
