Only Two More Days Before Wrestling Is Returned to the Olympics!

Below is the full schedule for the 125th Olympic Meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentine.

Appropriately, wrestling has the final of the three slots to make its presentation and the vote will then start at - High Noon - Buenos Aires time.

That means the vote starts at 8 AM Sunday LA time and the presentation for wrestling begins at 7:30 AM Sunday morning.  Twitter feed for Olympic Wrestling Federation https://twitter.com/fila_official &  twitter feed for USA Wrestling https://twitter.com/USAWrestling.

Follow them both and cheer them on to victory - and stop the IOC from retiring wrestling from the Olympics.

A wrestler leaves behind his shoes when he retires from competitive wrestling and has to walk off the mat for a final time.
