The International Olympic Committee is to vote on whether or not to reinstate wrestling as a core sport for the 2020 Olympic games. The vote is scheduled for tomorrow, September 8 (1).
The same committee shocked the wrestling world by voting the sport out of the 2020 in their Feb, 2013 meeting (2).
Wrestling will have to overcome competition from squash and baseball/softball to win the vote for reinstatement.
The committee will also be deciding on the location of the 2020 Olympics. That vote is due later today, with Turkey, Spain, and Japan competing for the honors. (Update: Japan won!)
