One gap remains, one opening, one vacancy remains in the Olympic program, and wrestling seeks to fill it. Tomorrow the IOC execituve board will pick up to three sports from a list of hopefuls; one of these sports may be included in the 2020 games.
Today, as part of the selection process, the IOC board will scrutinize the number twitter followers possessed by the governing bodies of the sports in contention. FILA is the governing body of wrestling, and right now it badly could use your follows on twitter. Go now and follow @fila_official. That is, unless you want to see a vital part of our cultural heritage as human beings erased from the world’s highest platform for sporting competition.
In my weekly column on Intermat (I still write it), I review the procedural ins and outs which face wrestling going forward in this process to obtain inclusion in the 2020 Olympics. Stick around to also catch up on my thoughts on last weekend’s University national freestyle championships, or maybe catch up on back articles.
Again, please follow @fila_official
